Document Summary

If you"re a woman or if you"re a little kid, the home might be the most dangerous place you encounter in your life. Violence inside the family was not a hot issue, not hot news. Ex) few years ago in anaheim; woman allowed her daughter to starve to death; 13 month old died mother was 23 years old; sentenced for 8 years. 1500 reported child abuse fatalities each year = conservative estimate. 700,000 confirmed cases of victims of child abuse and neglect per year. Agency determined that something really happened similar to. Ucr: any crime statistics that depend on reporting are seriously going to underestimate the amount of crime. Someone needs to suspect the crime is taking place, and even then it has to be investigated (find enough solid evidence to see that there was an incidence of abuse) 22% of women suffer severe violence in lifetime. The problem is not confined to the united states.
