TL;DR: The authors compare and contrast the psychological and legal models and demonstrate that the purposes for distinguishing between instrumental and reactive aggression in psychology and law are undeniably different in meaningful ways, and that a perceived shift in law away from differentiating murder and manslaughter has no bearing on the usefulness of the instrumental-reactive aggression distinction in psychological science.
