Domestic violence occurs when a person uses physical violence, threats, intimidation, stalking, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or economic abuse to control another partner in a relationship. This is a very serious social problem, according to the National Institute of Justice, over 37% of women admitted to an emergency room for violence-related injuries were abused by an intimate partner. Many other states have experienced domestic violence, like New Mexico, Maine, Vermont and mostly in Alaska. There has been 8 females killed due to this, it is ranked first in the domestic violence rank since September 17, 2013. Nearly 2.2 million people have called local and national domestic violence hotlines in 2004, and 2 million injuries and 1,300 deaths are caused each year as a result of domestic violence nationally. In 2009, for homicides in which the victim to offender relationship could be identified, 93% of female victims were murdered by a male they knew, 63% of them in the context of an intimate relationship. One percent of all women (age greater than 18) who participated in a UN national study in 1995–96, who may or may not have been married or partnered, were victims of domestic abuse within the previous 12 month period. Since this population included women who had never been partnered, the prevalence of domestic violence may have been greater.
