       This Page is Dedicated to Victims

           Who Have Died Because of

          *Domestic Violence Issues

*The perpetrators of these crimes have a history of growing up in a dysfunctional  and an abusive home.  

  They cannot be excused for their horrific actions, but their childhood experiences were a contributing factor.

   That is why it is just as important to reach out to not only those abused, but also to the abusers to try to stop

   the circle of abuse at it's source before it gets out of control.



A Review of Domestic Violence Deaths - By Niel Websdale (Professor of criminal justice at Northern Arizona University - Flagstaff)

"Every year in the United States, 1,000 to 1,600 women die at the hands of their male partners, often after a long, escalating pattern of battering. The estimated number of deaths due to intimate partner violence does not include those women who kill  themselves to exit violent relationships, or who die homeless on the streets avoiding batterers."

The UN estimates that there are 5,000 such cases each year. Often times the mother of the victim is aware and/or will assist in the killings as well as other close family members. Honor killings are a form of domestic violence. For a period of time before the killings, verbal, emotional & physical abuse can take place.
