"Women are much more likely than men to be killed by an intimate partner. In 2000, intimate partner homicides accounted for 33.5 percent of the murders of women and less than four percent of the murders of men.17 "

"In 2002, 76% of IPV homicide victims were female; 24% were male (Fox and Zawitz 2004)."

I had not commented earlier, because quite honestly I was floored with the initial post. Anyway, statistics prove that far more women are murdered by their male partners than men are murdered by their female partners. Yes, women do abuse. Yes, women do kill their husbands. However, the scale is not balanced as some have suggested. It is also a fact that men use physical violence; whereas women will use violence that is not physical. However, I don't think it should be insinuated that women are more 'cunning.' This insinutes that the females crime is worse than the males crime and that is not the case. Both are equally tragic. On my website, I list all deaths and abuse incidents that I hear about, male or female. This is because I know that both are victims of domestic violence. However, it is not on an equal level.
When sharing statistics, it is probably best to share those that are most recent. One of the statistics I list is from 1993. I have chosen that one to coincide with the initial post.
Just my thoughts.
