They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Lest We Forget.
Do you believe the cost is free?
How many cities are no more?
How many soldiers graves have we?
How many battlefields, and their stories
Are mentioned only in History books?
How many orphans; how many widows;
How many lives were took?
How many heroes forgotton?
How many lessons were learnt?
How many buildings rubble?
How many people burnt?
How many memorial services?
How many minutes silent prayer?
How many people pay respect?
How many people care?
How many people remember,
How we all came to be here?
What IS the price of freedom?
To ME it’s VERY DEAR!!1 member liked this post.

Statistics
Domestic abuse:
- Will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime
- Leads to, on average, two women being murdered each week and 30 men per year
- Accounts for 16% of all violent crime, however it is still the violent crime least likely to be reported to the police
- Has more repeat victims than any other crime (on average there will have been 35 assaults before a victim calls the police)
- Is the single most quoted reason for becoming homeless (Shelter, 2002)
- In 2010 the Forced Marriage Unit responded to 1735 reports of possible Forced Marriages.
In addition, approximately 400 people commit suicide each year who have attended hospital for domestic abuse injuries in the previous six months, 200 of these attend hospital on the day they go on to commit suicide It has been estimated that domestic abuse costs the public £23 billion per annum. This includes the cost to the criminal justice system, to the health service, to social care and to housing. It is widely accepted however that this figure is an under-estimate as there are so many costs that can not be measured. The Home Office estimates that each domestic abuse murder costs the country just over £1 million and totals £112 million per annum.
- 2 women are killed every week in England and Wales by a current or former partner (Office of National Statistics, 2015) – 1 woman killed every 3 days
- 1 in 4 women in England and Wales will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes and 8% will suffer domestic violence in any given year(Crime Survey of England and Wales, 2013/14)
- Globally, 1 in 3 women will experience violence at the hands of a male partner (State of the World’s Fathers Report, MenCare, 2015)
- Domestic violence has a higher rate of repeat victimisation than any other crime (Home Office, July 2002)
- Every minute police in the UK receive a domestic assistance call – yet only 35% of domestic violence incidents are reported to the police (Stanko, 2000 & Home Office, 2002)
- The 2001/02 British Crime Survey (BCS) found that there were an estimated 635,000 incidents of domestic violence in England and Wales. 81% of the victims were women and 19% were men. Domestic violence incidents also made up nearly 22% of all violent incidents reported by participants in the BCS (Home Office, July 2002).
many thanks for the stats, angle. Pretty shocking, but I had heard some of them already.
What is shocking is seeing the stats face to face
and having to deal with aftermath as best you can

a text this morning
Scep . you said “I do know that domestic violence (still mainly men against women, though a significant number of women against men) still takes place.” The last statistics I looked at it was 52% women are abused and 48% men so almost an equal split, seems the only thing that is true equality nowadays is abuse. and yet, as far as I am aware there is still only 1 Male refuge. some of the men I counselled had been very cruelly abused. its still far easier for a woman to admit it than a man
there are two laine we refer to thm sometimes
