Title:	When men murder women : an analysis of 2002 homicide data
Authors:	Langley, Marty
Keywords:	Statistics;Homicide
Year:	2004
Publisher:	Violence Policy Center, Washington
Notes:	This United States Violence Policy Center's annual report gives national and state-by-state information on intimate partner violence and domestic violence in the context of female homicides involving one female murder victim and one male offender for the year 2002. This is the first US analysis of data on female homicide victims that offers breakdowns of cases in the 10 US states with the highest female/male offender homicide rates and the first to rank the US states by the rate of female homicides. The key findings dispel myths raised by the gun lobbyists regarding the nature of lethal violence against women such as the lone male stranger attacking the woman. The findings show that females (including black women) were more likely to be murdered by a male they knew and more female homicides were committed with firearms than with any other weapon. The theme is that women face the greatest threat from someone they know such as a spouse or intimate partner who is armed with a firearm.
