My gut feeling is that seat comfort, or the lack thereof, has nothing to do with violent incidents, but things like passenger behavior and alcohol have everything to do with it.
I would surmise that the overall stress of the process of flying, to which seat (dis)comfort is a contributing factor, drives bad behavior at least as often as alcohol.
