Dating and Domestic Violence Statistics

• Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United States - more than rapes, muggings, and automobile accidents combines. (Surgeon General, United States, 1992)
• A women is beaten every 9 seconds in the United States (Family Violence Prevention Fund Report 1994.)
• According to the Center for Disease Control, a woman is in nine times more danger of violent attack in her home than on the streets.
• Women are more likely to be victims of homicide when they decide to separate from their husbands. The risk of homicide is highest in the first two months of separation. (Wilson & Daly, Violence and Victims, 1993.)
• Battered women are often severely injured - 22 to 35% of women who visit medical emergency rooms are there for injuries related to ongoing abuse. (Journal of American Medical Association, 1992.)
• Domestic Violence is a significant cause of miscarriage and birth defects. (March of Dimes, 1992.)
• Approximately 50% of the homeless women and children in this country are on the streets because of violence in the home. (Senator Joseph Biden, U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Violence Against Women: Victims of the System, 1991).
• Within the last year, 7% of American women (3.9 million) who are married or living with someone as a couple were physically abused, and 37% (20.7 million) were verbally or emotionally abused by their spouse or partner. (The Commonwealth Fund, 1993.)
• In self-reported data, 35% of adolescents mention at least knowledge of someone who experienced physical violence in a dating relationship. (Roscoe, B. and Callahan, J. "Adolescents' Self Report of Violence in Families and Dating Relationships." Adolescence, Vol. XX No. 79, Fall, 1985.)
• Abusive men who kill their partners serve an average of two to six year terms. Women who kill their partners, usually in self-defense, serve an average of fifteen years. (NCADV Voice, Winter 1989.)

What manner of feminised bullshit are these manufactured so-called statistics ?

I don't even know where to start as it's such a list of doctored crap, it's amazing...

Here's a few to begin with...

Should just about cover all of the crap above....

And her "facts" are nearly 2 decades out of date. This is laughable.

she can't use modern scientific studies because those are just tools of the patriarchy. Since they show women tend to be fairly equal to men in terms of negative qualities such as violence.

Understanding Domestic Violence Factoids




According to the FBI, A Woman is Beaten Every (fill in the blank) SECONDS
First, the FBI does not calculate, tabulate, or track data on domestic violence. The FBI once did estimate that a women is beaten every 15 seconds, but they derived this estimate from Murray Straus, Richard J. Gelles, and Suzanne K. Steinmetz's book, Behind Closed Doors: Violence in the American Family.
Various other fact sheets list various other number of seconds. The number of seconds depends on the study (if there actually was one) and how violence was defined. For example, some versions of this factoid state that a women is beaten every 9 seconds and cite a study done by the Commonwealth Fund in July, 1993. The Commonwealth Fund study used the same measure as was used by Straus and his colleagues. Unlike Straus and his colleagues who defined "abuse" as acts of violence that were likely to cause and injury, the Commonwealth Fund defined "abuse" as every thing from pushing, shoving, and slapping to using a gun or knife.
There Are Four Million Women Beaten and Abused Each Year
Same problems as above. The Straus, Gelles, and Steinmetz survey estimated that 2 million women were abused each year by their husbands. Straus and his colleagues speculated that if all the respondents told the truth and if ex-husbands and boyfriends were included, the number could be as high as 4 million. However, no study to date using a representative sample and measuring severe violence, has found more than 2 million abused women each year.
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
This factoid has been attributed to both Surgeon General Antonia Novello and the Centers for Disease Control. The actual primary source of this "fact" is research by Evan Stark and Ann Flitcraft. It was probably Stark and Flitcraft who supplied the fact to CDC, who then included it in material supplied to the Surgeon General. Unfortunately, as good a sound bite as this is, it is simply not true. The original source of this statement goes back to two papers by Stark and Flitcraft. First, the actual research the "fact" is based on is a rather small survey of one emergency room. Second, in the original articles, they said that domestic violence may (emphasis added) be a more common cause of emergency room visits than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.
Linda Saltzman from the Centers for Disease Control tells all journalists who call to check this fact that the CDC does not recognize this as either their fact or a reputable fact.
The March of Dimes Reports that Batterering During Pregnancy is the Leading Cause of Birth Defects and Infant Mortality
The March of Dimes actually reports that they know of no such study.
Sixty-three Percent of Young Men Between the Ages of 11 and 20 Who Are Serving Time for Homicide Have Killed Their Mother's Abuser
This factoid is often used by Sarah Buel in her speeches. It appears to be yet another fact from nowhere. The FBI has published no data that supports this claim. The FBI's Uniform Crime Reports has no tables that report on prison populations, let alone a table or figure that breaks down prison populations by age of offender and relationship to victim. There are no Department of Justice reports that report on what number or percentage of young men kill their mother's batterer.
Family Violence has Killed More Women in the Last Five Years as the Total Number of Americans Who Were Killed in The Vietnam War
This factoid was often used by Dr. Robert McAfee, past president of the American Medical Association. There were about 55,000 American casualties in the Viet Nam war. According to the FBI, Uniform Crime Statistics, about 1,500 women are killed by their husbands or boyfriends each year. The total number of women homicide victims each year is about 5,000. Thus, in 5 years, even if every women who was killed, was killed by a family member, the total would still be 1/2 the number of American casualties in Viet Nam.
Women Who Leave Their Batterers Are at a 75% Greater Risk of Being Killed by the Batterer than Those Who Stay
Women are more likely to be victims of homicide when they are estranged from their husbands than when they live with their husbands--BUT NOT A 75 % GREATER RISK. The risk of homicide is higher in the first two months after separation.
SOURCE: Wilson, Margo and Martin Daly. (1993) "Spousal homicide risk and estrangement." Violence and Victims, 8, 3-16.
Women Who Kill Their Batterers Receive Longer Prison Sentences than Men Who Kill Their Partners
This factoid is often attributed to someone from Pace University. There is no actual published source for this. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Violence Between Intimates (November, 1994), the average prison sentence for men who killed their wives was 17.5 years; the average sentence for women convicted of killing their husbands was 6.2 years.

Factoids From the Right of Center




Women are as Violence as are Men, and Women Initiate Violence as Often as do Men
This factoid cites research by Murray Straus, Suzanne Steinmetz, and Richard Gelles, as well as a host of other self-report surveys. Those using this factoid tend to conveniently leave out the fact that Straus and his colleague's surveys as well as data collected from the National Crime Victimization Survey (Bureau of Justice Statistics) consistently find that no matter what the rate of violence or who initiates the violence, women are 7 to 10 times more likely to be injured in acts of intimate violence than are men.

Other Factoids from Nowhere




4,000 Women Each Year are Killed by Their Husbands, Ex-husbands, or Boyfriends
The FBI reports that approximately 1,500 women are killed each year by husbands or boyfriends. Even if one factors in the number of women killed by unidentified or undetermined assailants, the number could not be 4,000.
Women of All Cultures, Races, Occupations, Income Levels, and Ages are Battered - by Husbands, Boyfriends, Lovers, and Partners
While this fact is technically true, it is also true that domestic violence is more likely to occur in homes below the poverty line, in minority households (even controlling for income), and among men and women 18 to 30 years of age.
Nationally, 50% of All Homeless Women and Children are on the Streets Because of Violence in the Home
An interesting factoid stated by Senator Biden, but one without any actual published scientific research to support it.
There are Nearly Three Times as Many Animal Shelters in the United States as There are Shelters for Battered Women and Their Children
Another great sound bite, but one not actually based on a verified count of either type of shelter.

The choice of wording, describing men who kill and women who kill, says it all.
Men = abusive
Women = defense only.

Hogwash

I noticed that part aswell. But what do you expect when all she posted was overly biased, feminist propoganda?

The bitch is a troll, ban her.

Who's a troll? Me?

I posted this b/c I thought their so called "statistics" were ridiculous. Also the sources that they use were from the early 90's and 80's. Please, like there haven't been studies done since then. Oh, but they probably didn't have the results that they wanted, so they use old ones instead, but I wonder how many people question that. This was one of the links that the equalityrules website provided. As for the Violence against women: every day, constantly thread that I posted. I found that from the white ribbon website, which the equality rules also posted a link to. And that white ribbon campagin - :roll: ,


and then the posters https://secure.thindata.com/whiterib...ts.asp?catID=1


this is what they said about the 'violence against women: every day, constantly' article


A well thought out response? What friggin' article were they reading?

And then one of the comments to the post
