Domestic Violence - Outlaws - Episode 16

In this post, I will be talking about domestic violence and giving the statistics on the issue, let's get started.

To give a definition, domestic violence is when violence is occurring between people who are in a relationship, for example your husband or wife. This type of of violence usually ends up breaking the relationship altogether. The problem with this kind of violence is that it usually never reported to police, because the victim might be scared what their spouse might do if they were arrested.

In 2011, there were a reported 97,500 victims of domestic violence in Canada, but this number is probably higher than shown because of all the unreported cases. 80% of victims in these cases were female, which is consistent in most countries, as men grow to be stronger than most women.

I hope you enjoyed this post!
