I think a big factor is the unwillingness of bystanders to get involved. It used to be that if a public argument was brewing to the point of violence, bystanders would step in and try to break things up. Today, if two people are engaged in an escalating argument or threatening situation, it may as well be happening on the moon for all the chances of any public intervention.
