Re: http://www.cybergrrl.com/views/dv//s According to FBI statistics, 30% of female murder victims in 1990, the last year for which statistics are available, were killed by their husbands or boyfriends. That is approximately 3000 women. (Caroline Knapp, "A Plague of Murders: Open Season on Women, The Boston Phoenix, August 1992) Of the 5,745 women murdered in 1991, 6 out of 10 were killed by someone they knew. Half were murdered by a spouse or someone with whom they had been intimate. ("When Violence Hits Home," Time, July 4, 1994) http://www.cybergrrl.com/views/dv//s More than 1 million women seek medical assistance for injuries caused by battering each year. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1991) Battering is the major cause injury to women, resulting in more injuries to women than auto accidents, muggings and rapes combined. ("Violence Among Intimates, An Epidemiological Review," E.Stark and A.Flitcraft, Handbook of Family Violence, Ed. V.D. Van Hasselt, et.al., 1988) http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/6 Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United States; more than car accidents, muggings and rapes combined. ("Violence Against Women, A Majority Staff Report", Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate, 102nd Congress, October 1992, p.3) Привет Добавить комментарий: |
