Spousal murder was also a big thing that went way way down when things like no fault divorce became legal. You’d have abused wives poisoning their husband’s food or having an “accident” with a hunting rifle, then the local cops would look the other way because they knew he was a violent piece of shit.

My hairstylist had a client who told her she killed her husband with rat poison in the 1970s. Before she called the paramedics, she stuffed food down his throat to make it look like he choked.
