Racial and Ethnic Differences in Homicides of Adult Women and the Role of Intimate Partner Violence

The CDC looked at the issue of homicides in adult women in last week’s MMWR: Racial and Ethnic Differences in Homicides of Adult Women and the Role of Intimate Partner Violence–United States, 2003-2014. I don’t think it requires any explanation, nor do I think it will contain too many surprises. You may have seen press reports on it last week (alternatively). It’s as bleak as you probably expected. It’s also a must read, because although it’s brief, it raises critical discussion points for practice.
