According the the FBI:

*Almost 1/3 of female homicide victims reported in police records are killed by an intimate partner.

*In 70-80% of intimate partner homicides, no matter which partner was killed, the man physically abused the woman before the murder.

*16,800 homicides and $2.2 million (medically treated) injuries annually are due to intimate partner violence, at a cost of $37 billion.

*One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
