Title: How many in the USA? n/t Post by: Haroshij on December 04, 2003, 05:00:00 AM Title: Re: How many in the USA? n/t Post by: BubbaGump on December 05, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to How many in the USA? n/t, posted by Haroshij on Dec 4, 2003
The FBI statistics for the USA imply that there are approximately 1200 women murdered each year by their husband or boyfriend. Another analysis I found for the year 1995, criticized the FBI statistics as misleading and put the number at 820 wives (and girlfriends?) murdered for 1995. Considering that the USA has a much larger population, it would appear that the Russian murder rate must be about 20 times greater. |
