A recent study by The Violence Policy Center in Washington, DC found that 92% of female victims were murdered by someone they knew, with a majority of them being wives or intimate acquaintances of their killers. In 86% of the incidents, the homicides were not related to the commission of any other felony, such as rape or robbery. The five states with the highest rates of women killed by men are, in order:
Nevada, Vermont, Alabama, North Carolina and TENNESSEE.
The Tennessean reported in October, 2010 that Tennessee has consistently ranked high in studies by The Violence Policy Center over the last decade. According to FBI statistics, over the last 11 years, Tennessee has ranked in the Top 10 nine times and the Top 5 four times! Tennessee's rate of women murdered by men has risen steadily since 2004, from 1.78 women killed for every 100,000 residents to 1.97 in 2008. Ninety-five percent of the women were killed by someone they knew.
