Research presentation on the intensity of domestic violence against womenZeba Sayed
The document summarizes research on domestic violence against women living in slums in Bangladesh. It finds that the majority of women suffered physical, verbal, and sexual abuse, often on a regular basis, primarily at the hands of their husbands and in-laws. Educational attainment, wealth, and traditional gender attitudes influence the level of domestic violence, with women in slums facing higher rates of abuse due to lower education and wealth coupled with views that condone violence against women.
P.A.A.V.E is a peer education program at UNLV that trains student volunteers over 18 hours to educate their peers about domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and cultural competency. The program was formerly known as SAFE Team and began in 2002. P.A.A.V.E volunteers conduct presentations on topics such as rape culture, drug facilitated rape, LGBT violence, and myths about why victims stay with their abusers. The Jean Nidetch Women's Center oversees the program and other violence prevention efforts on campus.
Domestic violence against men is more prevalent than reported, but often goes unreported due to societal biases that view men as perpetrators rather than victims. Research shows that men face threats of violence, emotional distress, and lack of support services when abused. While women make up a minority of domestic violence arrests, studies show that women commit violence against men for reasons like anger and control, not just self-defense. The lack of resources and tendency not to believe male victims means domestic violence against men remains under-recognized and addressed.

Domestic violence involves physical, psychological, and sexual abuse in intimate relationships aimed at establishing control over the victim. It is not a single incident, but rather a pattern of behavior over time. Victims can be of any gender, age, social class, or occupation. Psychological abuse, such as threats and isolation, is often the most hurtful type. Domestic violence has serious short- and long-term health impacts for victims and their children. It is a major public safety issue that accounts for a large percentage of police calls. Addressing the underlying causes and helping victims escape the cycle of violence are crucial to reducing its harms.
Gender based violence refers to violence directed at women that results in harm. It is perpetuated by unequal gender norms and roles in society. Types of gender based violence include intimate partner violence, sexual coercion, sexual abuse, rape, trafficking, and harmful traditional practices. Violence can be physical, sexual, or psychological in nature. Gender based violence has serious health impacts and is a public health issue. Case studies show examples of intimate partner violence, dowry deaths, harmful traditional practices against young girls, and efforts by NGOs and government to address gender based violence through counseling centers, women's police stations, and by establishing violence against women as a crime.

Sexual assault cases regularly make headlines and can potentially cause serious reputational harm to law enforcement agencies and police departments for mishandling the cases or not pursuing them vigorously enough.
The picture on the left shows the latest developments in a long-term problem of sexual assault on college campuses. In June, Candice Johnson, OCR Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights issued a memo that effectively stalled investigation of civil rights violations including sexual assault on campuses. A month later, Democratic Senators Kirsten Gillibrand from New York State and Claire McCaskill from Missouri urged Secretary of Education Betsy Devos to reverse this decision as unlawful because of failure to protect students under Title IX. Full text of the memo and Title IX, Sec. 1681 Sex are part of your lesson handout.
Similar problem with widespread sexual assault, and especially against minors, is a long-term problem at cruise ships. Because of the nature of cruise ships, there is no immediate response by law enforcement and the ship guards that investigate the matter are the cruise company’s employees therefore often unlikely to be of meaningful help to the victims. Jurisdiction can be federal, state or foreign, depending on the ship’s flag.
Finally, sexual violence in a workplace can be difficult to address because of the unequal relationship between parties and under-reporting. Recently, car company Tesla appeared in the news as a hostile workplace to women.
This document discusses gender-based violence in the U.S., focusing on domestic abuse and sexual assault. It explores the historical relationship between patriarchy and violence against women. While such attitudes remain normalized in society today, women of all backgrounds experience these forms of violence. The document then outlines two approaches to addressing this issue: responding through improving police response and supporting survivors, and preventing further assaults through education and awareness programs. It stresses the importance of continued research to evaluate effective policies and methods for holding perpetrators accountable and changing social views.

11 Sex Offenders: Assessment and Treatment
Shahid M. Shahidullah and Diane L. GreenINTRODUCTION
There has been a rapid growth and expansion of correctional institutions in America in the1980s and 1990s. Between 1982 and 2003, correctional expenditures for all levels of government, including federal, state, and local, increased 573 percent. In 1982, total correctional expenditures were about $9.1 billion. In 2003, they increased to about $60.9 billion (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2006). This rapid growth in correctional expenditures was accompanied with rapid growth in incarcerated population. In 2004, there were about 7 million people in America who were in prison, or jail, or in probation. Between 1995 and 2005, the incarcerated population in America grew at an annual rate of about 3.4 percent (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2005). In 2001, about $38.2 billion was spent by the state authorities for corrections, and out of that about $28.4 billion was spent for adult correctional facilities. In 2001, about 59 percent of the justice expenditures of the states were for corrections alone.
This growth and expansion in corrections has brought, particularly for the states, not only new prisons and prison jobs but also new responsibilities and concerns for offender management. In the context of the emerging policy model of prison reentry, correctional institutions are being increasingly asked to build a bridge between prison and communities, particularly through a model of offender management that can reduce recidivism and strengthen reentry and reintegration. A new managerial paradigm is currently growing in American corrections that emphasizes that offender management should be seen in terms of a more holistic and comprehensive perspective—a perspective that can combine risk assessment and treatment with new goals and planning for their reentry and offender management in the communities (MacKenzie, 2001). This new model has expanded particularly in the area of sex offender management, and its expansion is planned and guided nationally by the Center for Sex Offender Management [CSOM]—a federal program established in 1997 by the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, in collaboration with the National Institute of Justice, National Institute of Corrections, State Justice Institute, and the American Probation and Parole Association.
The core of the CSOM model is that sex offender management must begin with effective assessment and treatment of sex offenders inside the prison. Reentry and recidivism depend on whether the risk of reoffending was effectively assessed, and suitable treatment plans were made and offered. The postincarceration success of sex offender registration, notification, tracking, and management is now seen as intimately connected with effective sex offender assessment and treatment during incarceration in prison. It is because of this emerging comprehensive approach that correctional institutions are reexamining ...
Very few of us know that 73% of the rape victims know the rapists. Moreover, 40% of rapes happen at victim’s home and 20% occur in the homes of familiar people.
It turned out that most of us have no idea about the effective precautions needed to protect ourselves from the traumatic experience, because we expect danger from a wrong source. A widespread belief is that one should expect a rapist to sit in the bushes in the park late at night, while the reality is different.
My colleague Paulina Grzelak and I were astonished while exploring this topic, as we were quite oblivious to the real situation as well. Therefore, we decided to make a small questionnaire and ask people what they think about rape.
This presentation begins with the analysis of what makes a person become a rapist, which is followed by the comparison of the results of the questionnaire with real data.
I would be grateful if you shared this presentation as many people need this knowledge.
I also want to add that most figures we present come from the States where definition of rape and social situation may differ from ours. Hence, comparing data from the U.S. with opinions from Poland and Ukraine may seem improper. For instance, being forced into sexual contact by husband may not even be recognized as rape in Ukraine, “because it’s his natural right”. And even if a wife admits this fact, social welfare system (which does not exist here, let’s face it) leaves her no option apart from remaining silent, while in the U.S. rape victims are less dependent on family members. Therefore, one has to approach the statistics carefully. Still, we believe that using American data can be justified by the fact that they explore the subject more than any other country.

The document discusses domestic violence and provides information and guidance on recognizing signs of abuse and how to help. It notes that isolation is often a factor in abusive situations and encourages behaviors that interrupt isolation such as learning signs of abuse and seeking help. It also discusses the different types of domestic violence and provides statistics about domestic homicides in Ontario, with the majority of victims being women. The document aims to raise awareness of woman abuse so communities can help those at risk.
This document provides an overview of a research project conducted in Massachusetts to study how family courts handle cases involving intimate partner violence (IPV). Surveys were administered to litigants, judges, and probation officers over two phases from 2009-2010. 212 litigants, 44 probation officers, and 10 judges participated. The project aimed to identify how often IPV is a factor in family court cases and explore stakeholder perceptions to inform systemic improvements around safety and addressing IPV in family court proceedings. Key findings revealed gaps between litigants' and other stakeholders' experiences that, if addressed, could enhance outcomes and safety in high-risk family court cases.

This article is a school-based research project report for the University of Miami, School of Law, which was written in the light of the women’s human rights against domestic violence. The fact is that numerous policies and rules touch on or address domestic violence in the United States. However, domestic violence, as well as sexual harassment, has seen women and the minorities suffer within the borders of the United States. The article gives a statistical analysis of individuals who get assaulted each year due to domestic violence, where the number was found to be 237, 800. From this article, it is learned that domestic violence affects not only the primary victim but also other people who are affiliated with them such as the relatives, and the community at large, as it is a violation of human rights (“Domestic Violence & Sexual…,” 2014). In 2002, it was found that domestic violence could cost the federal government of the United States $12.6 billion on solving cases in courts, treatment of the assaulted, and loss of productive working force.
This article also discusses the part that human rights activists, as well as the government, have taken to curb domestic violence constitutionally. The government has active agencies that legally operate by the U.S. Constitution to ensure that all residents of the United States have their rights observed and respected—including protection from abuse by intimate partners. In this article one also learns of the legal system that is followed in affirming human rights. For instance, when a domestic violence case arises, the solution should involve due diligence of the authorities to investigate the matter, concerning what human rights are violated and how they are violated (“Domestic Violence & Sexual…,” 2014). The suspect is arrested and tried in the court of law, and the victim gets compensated for the violated rights. Domestic Violence in the United States
This is an 82-page report written by a group of scholars, more than ten of them, addressing domestic violence insights, especially against women. Among the issues discussed in the report include the functions of Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and how effectively it is used in the United States, analyzing whether it is helping in minimizing domestic violence or not. In this report, the weak points of VAWA ar ...
4.8.4 AWHN Conference 6 2010 Theatrette Wool Store:Reproductive Health at Risk:
Challenges Associated with
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
in remote Central Australia
This document outlines the schedule and topics for Concurrent Session 4.8 of a conference. It includes 4 presentations: 1) about a State Aboriginal Young Women's Committee in South Australia; 2) on the role of women's health nurse practitioners in improving access to health services; 3) on the minority voice of HIV-positive women in Australia and implications for mental health and community development; and 4) about reproductive health challenges associated with pelvic inflammatory disease in central Australia.
4.8.2 AWHN Conference 6 2010 Theatrette Wool Store:IMPROVING WOMEN’S ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESTHE INNOVATIVE ROLE OF THE WOMEN’S HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER
- Internet and mobile phone usage among Australian children has increased dramatically from 1998-2009, with over 70% of households having internet access by 2009 and 31% of children aged 5-14 having their own mobile phone.
- Cyberbullying is defined as "deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group intended to harm others" through digital technologies.
- The objective of the health promotion project was to create a media package to educate young women on safe usage of emerging technologies and prevent cyberbullying, through establishing an advisory group of Year 9 students over 10 weeks.
This document outlines three presentations on media and violence taking place at Concurrent Session 4. The first presentation analyzes print media reporting on deaths related to domestic violence. The second examines the impact of sexualized media images on the mental health of aging women. The third discusses being savvy when interacting online.
The document discusses the enhanced role of women's health nurse practitioners Lorna Scott and Carolyn Enks in rural Australia. It provides background on their roles since 1986/1991 and authorization as nurse practitioners in 2001/2005. The nurse practitioners see over 1,000 rural women annually based on guidelines for common women's health issues. Between 2008-2009, clinic visits increased by 20% while management based on nurse practitioner guidelines increased by 30%. The conclusion states that the extended practice of nurse practitioners improves primary health care outcomes for rural women.
This document summarizes community health initiatives in 5 South Australian communities aimed at empowering women. It discusses how local consultation and partnerships were used to identify priorities and develop action plans. Some key initiatives discussed include an enrolled nursing cadetship program in Riverland, a women's coordinator and sewing group on Yorke Peninsula, and establishing a women's place in Oak Valley. It also describes a well women's health program developed in Coober Pedy that provided holistic health services and screenings. The conclusion emphasizes that the programs were locally led, built community empowerment and resilience, and involved cross-sector partnerships.
This document summarizes a presentation on a program called Sustainable Farm Families (SFF) that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of farming families, including women. The SFF program delivers health education directly to farms and recognizes that health is influenced by where people live and work. Evaluation found that over two years, the program helped reduce several health risk factors among participating women, including BMI, cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Women reported improved empowerment and the majority felt the program was valuable in addressing priorities like farm safety, fitness, stress management, and health follow-up. The results suggest the SFF program is an effective way to engage farming families and communities in improving health.
This document discusses the isolation experienced by rural lesbians and ways to respond to their needs. It notes that over 1/3 of Australians view lesbianism negatively. For rural lesbians, the closet provides protection from prejudice but also isolation. Individual isolation is exacerbated by stigma, fear of discovery, and reduced support. Health practitioners should recognize lesbianism as a culture and institutions should treat all couples equally. The document calls for responses to address the isolation of rural lesbians.
This document outlines the schedule for Concurrent Session 4.5 of a conference on rural issues and approaches. The session is chaired by Patty Kinnersly and consists of 6 presentations on topics related to women's health in rural communities, including the health needs of refugee women, the isolation of rural lesbians, health and safety issues for farm women, stories of Aboriginal women in remote areas, enhancing roles to improve outcomes for rural women, and a gender-based service from the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

1. When viewed as the escalation of a predictable pattern of
behaviour, domestic homicides can be seen as largely
preventable deaths”
( David,2007)
Domestic Violence Homicide Reviews:
Preventable Deaths of Women in
Australia
2. Domestic Homicide: Preventable
Deaths
Domestic violence deaths exhibit predictable patterns
and aetiologies; they are preventable (Websdale 1999:61)
“Most predictable and preventable of homicides” (Jaffe
2009 1st
Canadian Conference on the Prevention of Domestic
Homicide)
3. The Killing of Women: Not an Occasional
Occurrence
• 1400 women killed annually USA (Websdale 2006)
• 2 women killed every week UK (Home Office National Domestic Violence
Plan 2005)
• Almost half femicides committed by current or former partner or
boyfriend- (WHO 2002)
• On average 76 women killed annually are intimate partner (NHMP
1989-90, 2002-03)
4. The War on Women
Brian Vallee 2000-2006
Unites States:
4588 Soldiers killed by hostile forces and deaths of serving Police
officers in line of duty
8000 Women shot, stabbed, strangled or beaten to death by
intimates
Canada
101 Soldiers killed by hostile forces and deaths of serving Police
officers in the line of duty
500 Women shot, stabbed, strangled or beaten to death by
intimates
These comparisons are meant solely to draw attention to the ongoing scourge that
continues to take the lives and to damage the minds and bodies of thousands upon
thousands of women and children living in fear of the domestic terrorists in their
own homes… Vallee, 2007 “ The War on Women”
5. Domestic violence fatality review
is a “deliberative process” to
prevent further domestic violence
and homicide, provide strategies
to ensure safety & hold
perpetrators and systems
accountable
(Wilson & Websdale 2006:539)
6. Catalyst for Change…
Charon Report in San Francisco 1990
conducted by the Commission on the Status of Women, City
and County of San Francisco
Joseph Charan murdered his wife, Veena Charan, on January
15, 1990, and then took his own life.
Veena Charan had sought the support of various government
agencies for a period of 15 months prior to her murder.
violated the restraining order on several occasions &
attempted to kidnap his son at the son's school
7. Catalyst for change…
investigation requested answers to three clusters of
questions:
Policies and procedures relating to domestic violence- what
are they and how adequate are they?
Is there sufficient information sharing between
departments/agencies
Are there sufficient data to evaluate the effectiveness of the
system? If not, what additional data need to be collected?
What changes, if any, to current procedures can be adopted
to avert future tragedies?
8. Conclusion- the City of San Francisco failed Veena
Charon
First DVDR Team established 1998- Santa Clara County
SF
Currently 125-150 DVDR Teams established in the USA
Canada- 2 DVDR Teams- Province of Ontario & British
Columbia
UK
New Zealand
Australia- Victoria & soon to be New South Wales
9. Domestic Violence Homicide/Death Review
Multi- agency task force
Detailed systemic review
Identifies weaknesses in systems
•To reduce domestic violence homicides by improving
service provision & systemic responses
•To compile and interpret accurate detailed data
10. What Does It Do?
Takes a broad view:
Context surrounding incident
Points of intervention
Appropriate intervention
Risk factors
Action taken by agencies
Effectiveness of actions
11. Means of improving interventions
policies and protocols
Law/legislative reform
Further prevention strategies
13. A Domestic Violence Homicide
Review is not..
A Research Project
Coronial Investigation
14. Death Review & Coronial Investigation: So, What’s
the Difference….?
An inquest is not a free-ranging inquiry into all
matters related to death. The job of the coroner is to
make the following findings:
the person’s identity
the date and place of the death
the manner and cause of the death
In essence, systemic issues can only be raised if they
form part of the “manner and cause of death”.
Case law- a line must be drawn at some point beyond
which, even if relevant, factors which come to light
will be considered too remote from the event to be
regarded as “causative”
15. Death Review & Coronial Investigation: So, What’s
the Difference….?
Domestic Violence Homicide Review is a free
ranging enquiry
Examine the incidents leading up to the fatality
Provides context taking into account history of violence
Recreates the time line of events – through the “eyes of the
victim and the perpetrator” (Websdale 2009)
Review individual deaths or a group of deaths over a period to
identify patterns and trends
Reviewing panel is representative of the community and
includes government and non government agencies as well as
reps from significant groups to provide specialist input e.g. faith
community, CALD community, Aboriginal
16. Domestic Violence Homicide Review
Team Outcomes…
Broader perspective and knowledge about culture and
context of domestic violence
Domestic violence deaths are preventable
Perpetrator is the one responsible for the death
Recommendations for improvement of system responses
Community education
Best practice and innovative interprofessional
approaches
17. • Contra Costa County California- centralised reporting system to
improve data collection
• Georgia-improved compliance regulations for batterer programs
• Hennepin County Minnesota- Mental Health Task Force to
improve screening of men for partner abuse
• New Hampshire- domestic violence training for continuing
professional educational requirements in relevant disciplines
• Ontario – Developed comprehensive community education campaign
“Neighbours, Friends & Family” to better inform community of how
they can support

19. Separation as a Critical Risk
Factor
Separated 3 months or less 45% (18 cases)
Separated 3-6 months 22.5% (9 cases)
Separated 6 months to a year 15% (6 cases)
Separated > 1 year 12.5% (5 cases) with 3 cases divorce proceedings
initiated within 3 months of homicide
Length of separation unknown 5% ( 2 cases)
Ontario Domestic Violence Death Review Committee Annual Report 2008)
20. Separation as a Critical Risk
Factor
Ontario findings are consistent with research findings
Period immediately after separation is the most
dangerous period for abuse victims
Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Board
47% domestic homicide cases involved victim separating from or
attempting to leave perpetrator (2008 Report)
33% of adult victims and 43% child victims clients of Dept Social
& Health Services’ Division of Child Support prior to the
homicide (1997-2006)
21. Critical Learnings:
Understanding Risk Factors
Prior physical abuse
Separation
Access to firearms
Previous threats to use a weapon
Stalking
Previous episodes of choking/strangulation
Sexual assault
Escalating pattern of severity, frequency of violence
Perpetrator suicidality
22. Scope of Domestic Homicide
Review
Domestic Violence Related Deaths include:
Known homicides involving intimate partners and family
members
Homicide involving deaths of others known to the
victim/perpetrator e.g. new partners, friends, colleagues
Homicide of persons as a direct result of a fatal incident e.g.
police, bystanders
Suicide of perpetrators either as homicide/suicide or suicide
23. Scope of Domestic Homicide
Review
Accidental deaths e.g. drowning, drug overdose, car
accident, falls
Chronic health problems e.g. stroke, cardiac disease,
stress related cancers and health complications related to
experiences of domestic violence
Homeless women- experience of homelessness is
contributed to domestic violence
Sexual competitor killings
Teen dating- rapidity of escalation to homicide
25. BEST PRACTICE PRINCIPLES FOR AN EFFECTIVE
REVIEW MODEL

AN EFFECTIVE REVIEW MODEL
Accurate data collection
Generates research
Builds on learnings
Contributes to a growing body of evidence
Interdisciplinary dialogue
Development of best practice
Informs & stimulates education,
community awareness initiatives
28. Their deaths are not unpredictable, isolated events without context or warning.
Most of the victims whose murders we discuss in this report reached out for help.
They planned with friends, family, and co-workers. They went to therapists,
attorneys, and health care providers. They called police. They went
to court. They worked with domestic violence advocates. They stayed in
shelter. They struggled to be mothers and friends and students and
employees and volunteers and to contribute to their communities in the
face of terrible violence from someone close to them…
