Domestic Violence: Dispelling the Myths

Myth 1: Woman abuse is a new social problem.

Fact: Woman abuse is not new. It has been condoned throughout history. For example, the widely used term "rule of thumb" comes from a 1767 English common law that permitted a husband to "chastise his wife with a whip or rattan no wider than his thumb."

Ten Facts about Domestic Violence Against Women

This year, about 450,000 women will be beaten between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
Battering is the single largest cause of injury to women in the United States.
In homes where there is spouse abuse, children are abused or seriously neglected at a rate 1500 percent higher than the national average.
About 30 percent of all women seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms are victims of wife beating.

Domestic Violence Prevention

The statistics are always staggering and a recent tragic event in Novato has prompted us to bring domestic violence back to the forefront. Almost one-third of all women murdered in this country are killed by a domestic partner. As advocates for justice for victims of domestic violence, we continue to put domestic violence on the front burner of our crime prevention efforts.

Domestic violence can take many forms, including physical, verbal or emotional abuse, intimidation, denial of rights or sexual assault. According to the department of Justice, one in four U.S. women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime; one in six will be the victim of an attempted or actual rape; one in 12 will be stalked. Nearly 5.3 million acts of intimate-partner violence occur each year among U.S. women aged 18 and older, resulting in 2 million injuries and nearly 1,300 deaths.
