Domestic Violence
Why it Matters
Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assult,
batter, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior perpe-trated
by an intimate partner against another. It is an epi-demic
aff ecting individuals in every community, regardless of
age, ecenomic status, race, religion, nationality or educational
background. Violence against women is often accompanied
by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior, and thus
is part of a systematic pattern of dominance and control.
Domestic violence results in physical injury, psychological
trauma and sometimes death. Th e consequences of domestic
violence can cross generations and truly last a lifetime.
Did You Know?
• One in every four women will experience domestic violence
in her lifetime.
• An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical as-sault
by an intimate partner each year.
• 85% of domestic violence victims are women.
• Historically, females have been most often victimized by
someone they knew.
• Females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk of
non-fatal intimate partner violence.
• Most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the
police.
Victims & Corrections Connection is
a quarterly publication developed for
the purpose of sharing and providing
information from the Victim Services
Unit for crime victims, survivors,
advocates and friends.
2 VICTIMS & CORRECTIONS CONNECTIONS
Children Who Witness
• Witnessing violence between one’s parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent
behavior from one generation to the next.
• Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they
become adults.
• 30% to 60% of perpetrators of intimate partner violence also abuse children in the household.
Sexual Assault and Stalking
• 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men have experienced an attempted or completed rape.
• Nearly 7.8 million women have been raped by an intimate partner at some point in their lives.
• Sexual assault or forced sex occurs in approximately 40-45% of battering relationships.
• 1 in 12 women and 1 in 45 men have been stalked in their lifetime. 81% of women stalked by a current or
former intimate partner are also physically assaulted by that partner, 31% are also sexually assaulted by that
partner.
Homicide and Injury
• Almost one-third of female homicide victims that are reported in police records are killed by an intimate
partner.
• In 70-80% of intimate partner homicides, no matter which partner was killed, the man physically abused the
woman before the murder.
• Intimate partner violence results in more than 18.5 million mental health care visits each year.
Stalking
• Stalking is a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.

Domestic Violence Awareness
Month History
Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) evolved from the “Day of Unity” in October
1981 conceived by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The intent was to connect
advocates across the nation who were working to end violence against women and their children.
The Day of Unity soon became an entire week devoted to a range of activities conducted at the
local, state, and national levels.
The activities conducted were as varied and diverse as the program sponsors but had common
themes: mourning those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have
survived, and connecting those who work to end violence.
In October 1987, the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed. That same year
marks the initiation of the first national domestic violence toll-free hotline. In 1989 the U.S.
Congress passed Public Law 101-112 designating October of that year as National Domestic
Violence Awareness Month. Such legislation has passed every year since with NCADV providing
key leadership in this effort. Each year, the Day of Unity is celebrated the first Monday of
Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
-- Adapted from the 1996 Domestic Violence Awareness Month Resource Manual of the National
Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
