Title: When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2006 Homicide Data

Publication Date: September 2008

What does it say? This analysis of homicide data from 2006 provides a state ranking of the homicide rate of women murdered by men. The most dangerous three states for women are Nevada, South Carolina, and Alabama.

How can I use it? States need to do a better job of providing records of domestic violence protective orders and misdemeanors to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System so they can be accessed during a Brady background check.
