    Alternative circumstances include factors that may be considered aggravating or mitigating when committing a crime. These include the relationship between the offender and victim, the intoxication of the offender, and the offender's level of education. Relationship is considered if the victim is a spouse, relative, or sibling of the offender. Intoxication may be a mitigating factor unless it is habitual or the intoxication led to the crime, in which case it is aggravating.
