My reaction was also along these lines. They might be better called "domestic violence ballads". Perhaps the focus is on the perspective of the man because he's the one left alive in the end to lament his fate.

This is the terrible things about murders... their victims never have a voice going forward, but they do. Good observation - what do you think is the right thing... completely forget the event? completely hide the murderer? review the victim's life before the murder?

Its a hard one for sure... you don't want to make evil famous... you dont want to invade the privacy of the victim... but you need to prevent things in the future
