The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in the Virginia Department of Health has issued a new report from the Family and Intimate Partner Homicide Surveillance Project, Family and Intimate Partner Homicides in Virginia’s Cities and Counties: 1999-2013.
The year 2013 marked the fifteenth year of data collection by the Family and Intimate Partner Homicide Surveillance Project. This report examines the burden of domestic violence related homicides in Virginia over that time period. The main body of the report gives an overview of trends and disparities in the impact of fatal domestic violence through the lens of place and locality using maps, figures, and geographic divisions. Report appendices contain extensive look-up tables detailing the impact of these deaths at the level of city/county for the entire fifteen-year surveillance period, to support local and regional efforts to respond to and prevent future fatalities.
