The movie focused on 3rd degree assault (defined by the authors as non-criminal domestic violence), meaning that there were no arrests or convictions for assault with a deadly weapon. One arrest was made when an assailant stole the owner's handgun from her home and threatened to shoot her family members in front of their young son. She kept it hidden until she learned how to open it. As noted above, almost all violent crimes involve firearms. According to The Violence Policy Center, approximately 58 percent of homicides involve handguns.
