40 women murdered

Every three hours, a woman is admitted to hospital with injuries as a result of domestic violence.

 

How many others have lesser injuries and are never counted?

Not all DV causes physical injury but I wouldn't be surprised if at least 50% goes unreported.

I did read that the statitsic for women admitted to NSW hospitals for injuries recieved through domestic violence is one woman every 3 hours.

 

I don't have to time mow to verify that statistic but will have a look tonight.

Every week in Australia, two women die from domestic violence, and every three hours, one woman is hospitalised.

 

With those abuse figures growing, there are calls for specialised courts to be introduced across the country to deal with domestic violence cases.

 

It's a move supported by former American Judge Eugene Hyman, who presided over the first juvenile domestic violence and family violence court in the United States.

 

Eugene is in Melbourne this week to talk to Magistrates and Police Prosecutors about taking a tougher line to stop women dying.

And that includes introducing what he describes as 'shock incarceration' to deal with abusers.

Domestic violence takes in alot of things, just not injuring a person.

 

Both my stepdaughter and daughter in recent months have been victims of domestic violence, thankgoodness, they are both alright, although my stepdaughter's partner tried to choke her, police and court were involved, he has now gone to WA, so along way from here. The police did tell her she was a condidate for being murdered..........not a nice thought.

 

I know alot of women that dont report the problem, mainly because they are scared of what their partner would do to them.

I thought this was an interesting observation. Makes you think. Especially when so many refuges and supporting agencies have had their funding cut.

 

How many people in Australia have been killed by terror attacks? Two (Debatable) Sweeping legislation changes.

How many young men have been killed by "coward punch"? Two Sweeping legislation changes.

Forty women in 5 months murdered in cold blood. Legislation changes? NONE!

Also, how many not taken seriously because of who the offender/s are

I often question what is worse, being killed in a single rage of domestic violence, or a lifetime of somewhat less fatal abuses. I don't know about Australia, but I believe here in America, Men are far more likely to be killed by police than women, Cops get a sick thrill from abusing women and if they killed them, their fun would be over. To be fair, I don't think they were trying to kill Kelly Thomas, They could have just shot him and not got their hands dirty, like they did with John Williams. I think they wanted to take the beating as far as they could without killing him, like a sick kind of sport. After the beating, the police had a staggar walking back and forth in a pacing mode, If you study the cops facial expressions, a look of satisfaction very similar to just having had good sex.
