New VPC Study Analyzes 25 Years of Data from "When Men Murder Women" for Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October

Wednesday, October 4, 2023

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the Violence Policy Center (VPC) released When Men Murder Women: A Review of 25 Years of Female Homicide Victimization in the United States. The study analyzes 25 years of data, from 1996 to 2020, from the VPC's annual report, When Men Murder Women. This year, the VPC was forced to temporarily suspend the state rankings usually contained in the report due to the unreliability of 2021 federal crime data as the result of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's ongoing transition from its Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) Summary Reporting System (SRS) to the new National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). [For an overview of how the problems associated with this switchover have negatively affected data collection and its impact on gun violence research and policy development, please see the new VPC study The Negative Impact of the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Transition on Gun Violence Research.] As a result, the VPC is only able to offer this 25-year overview of females killed by males, although it is our hope that at some point in the near future we will be able to resume publication of the original report, including its state rankings.

Key Points: 
  • The study analyzes 25 years of data, from 1996 to 2020, from the VPC's annual report, When Men Murder Women.
  • Notably, virtually all of these states are southern or southwestern states and the majority have higher rates of household firearm ownership.
