The answer is not as threatening as killing a stranger. A person who kills a member of his or her family is usually judged by society to be not as threatening as killing a stranger.

EXPLANATION

If a person kills their own family, usually there is a motive behind it. The motives can vary, such as abuse, internal conflicts, marriage problems, etc. Therefore, society will view it not as threatening as killing a stranger, because they think that they will not get killed as they are not part of the murderer's family.

Meanwhile, if a person kills a stranger, society will think that they are at risk too. The killer can murder anyone, including them. Therefore, when a murderer is killing a stranger, it is seen as more threatening than killing his or her family.

The act of murder itself is killing another human with malice aforethought. The act of murder can be done to anyone, to the closest people in life, or even to strangers. Most people in society consider the act of murder as a serious crime. A person should be punished if they are doing such a horrible crime. The punishment varies, such as prison time or death punishment.

Most countries give a murderer a long-term prison sentence or the death penalty. The long-term prison sentence might last a lifetime. So, someone will spend their entire life in prison, so they will not hurt other people anymore.

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

It is clear that a person who kills a member of his or her family is considered by the law to be a murder. However, society views can differ.

When it comes to a murder, people tend to perceive a person who kills a stranger as much more dangerous than a person who kills a member of his/her family. This can occur because, in their minds, when someone kills a stranger, society tends to think that they are at risk too. On the other side, when a person kills someone of his/her family society feels safe thinking it couldn't have been them the ones who could have got killed.
