"IT IS a myth that most domestic murderers are known to authorities, with 74 per cent of them having no contact with police for violent incidents in the year before they kill and 48 per cent no contact for five years prior."
"Even fewer victims - only 10 per cent - were involved in a recorded incident of domestic violence with their eventual killer in the year before their death, a Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research report says."
Clearly something is being missed. It is possible because of the strangle hold on research, research fails to uncover or perhaps avoids trying to uncover facts, that conflict with feminist dogma.
