US president cuts funding for victims as state faces more than a third of killings from partner or familial violence
Domestic violence is the leading cause of homicide in Utah, according to an analysis of FBI and state data by a local news station in Salt Lake City. The investigation is based on intimate partner homicide data recently released by the state.
The station, Fox 13, found that 51 – more than a third – of the 137 homicides between July 2023 and January 2025 were the result of intimate partner or familial violence. The majority of the perpetrators were men, while the sexes of the victim were nearly evenly split, with 26 male and 25 female victims. This could be because in many cases, there were multiple victims, including a victim’s children, parents or siblings.
I actually don’t think you can fix domestic violence in Utah with awareness. Sending the National Guard actually might be the best option lol
They should’ve done that 150 years ago before it became an ethnostate with a govt religion
I mean, they kicked them out and they went to Utah. Haha
I mean, Utah has the lowest rate of domestic violence against women and the second lowest homicide rate, just behind New Hampshire
Reported.
For providing data that challenges your preconceptions?
Edit: thought they were saying they reported me, I was very confused. This data is from the CDC, and is based on survey data, not from reports to law enforcement
No, they’re saying it’s the lowest reported rate. That there are structures in the predominant religion in Utah that chill reporting to government authorities. I can go on, but I’m tired.
Yep. Utah is a very weird place.
Reported data. Utah #1 in wives that shut up and take abuse—and don’t talk about it on “surveys”
