Murdering Women

The Violence Policy Center, using data from the FBI, last week released a study, "When Men Murder Women", based on the year 2015. In that year, 1,686 women in this country were murdered by men in “single victim/single offender” incidents. The men were not strangers; 90% of the women killed knew their offenders. And of these, 64% were wives or other intimate acquaintances of their killers. More of the women were killed by guns than any other methods combined.
