Violence Against Women Is Predominantly Intimate Partner Violence Exhibit 26. Percentage Distribution of Adult Victims of Violence by
Victim-Perpetrator Relationship. All Types of Victimization. Intimate Partner* -- 64.0 Relative Other Than Spouse -- 6.4 Acquaintance -- 16.4 Stranger -- 14.6 *Intimate partners include current and former spouses, opposite-sex and same-sex cohabiting partners, boyfriends/girlfriends, and dates. Note: Total percentages by victim gender exceed 100 because some victims had multiple assailants. When only victims of rape and/or physical assault are considered, the results are similar: Women are predominantly victimized by current and former intimate partners and men are predominantly victimized by strangers (see exhibit 27).
Exhibit 27. Percentage Distribution of Adult Rape and Physical Assault
Victims by Victim-Perpetrator Relationship Intimate Partner* -- 76.0 Relative Other Than Spouse -- 8.6 Acquaintance -- 16.8 Stranger -- 14.1 *Intimate partners include current and former spouses, opposite-sex and same-sex cohabiting partners, boyfriends/girlfriends,
and dates. Note: Total percentages by victim gender exceed 100 because some victims had multiple perpetrators. Based on U.S. Census estimates of the number of women age 18 and older, 201,394 U.S. women are raped by an intimate partner annually in the United States.

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), a component of the Office of Justice Programs, the research agency of the U.S. Department of Justice. A survey of murder cases that were adjudicated in 1988 in the courts of large urban counties indicated that 16 percent of murder victims were members of the defendant's family. The remainder were murdered by friends or acquaintances (64%) or by strangers (20%).
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/assist/nvaa/ch16hom.htm Data from the National Violence Against Women Survey indicate that violence against women is predominantly intimate partner violence. Of the women who reported being raped and/or physically assaulted since the age of eighteen, three-quarters were victimized by a current or former husband, cohabiting partner, date, or boyfriend (NIJ and CDC 1998, 12).
Approximately 20 to 30 percent of marriages in this country have been characterized at one point by overt interpersonal aggression (Straus and Gelles 1990; Straus, Gelles, and Steinmetz 1980), and about 1,800,000 to 4,000,000 women in the United States women are physically abused by their partners annually (Straus and Gelles 1986). Women are up to six times as likely to suffer violence at the hands of a partner or ex-partner than from a stranger (Bachman and Saltzman 1995), and are more likely to suffer injury when their assailant is an intimate (Bachman and Saltzman 1995). http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/assist/nvaa2002/chapter9.html Victim Offender Relationship by Victim Gender, 1976-2005 Percent of homicide victims by gender Victim/Offender relationship
Male Female Intimate 5.0 % 30.0 %
Spouse 3.0 18.3
Ex-spouse 0.2 1.4
Boyfriend/Girlfriend 1.8 10.4
Other family 6.8 % 11.8 %
Parent 1.3 2.8
Child 2.1 5.4
Sibling 1.2 0.9
Other family 2.2 2.8
Acquaintance/Known 35.3 % 21.8 %
Neighbor 1.1 1.3
Employee/er 0.1 0.1
Friend/Acquaintance 29.4 17.0
Other Known 4.6 3.4
Stranger 15.5 % 8.7 %
Undetermined 37.4 % 27.6 % Source: FBI, Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-2005. With numbers like these, it seems that the riskiest thing for women to do is to get married or have a boyfriend. Maybe marriage and having a boyfriend should be against the law, in order to protect women from violent attacks. slave joy

It just occurred to me that in the worst case scenario, we'll never know what happened because Missturbation won't be able to come back and tell us how she barely surivived a really bad situation.
In a worst case scenario, Missturbation won't survive a really bad situation.
I'm reminded of all the prostitutes in the Vancouver area who were murdered by that serial killer.
Just how empowered were they for all the money they took in?
Any wonder so many people are concerned for the well-being of prostitutes?
Its fine to talk of empowerment of women. But one man with a knife can disembowel that empowerment in an instant.
