The Project compiled statistics using media monitoring and reports from domestic violence programs and District Attorney s offices statewide; information was normalized using census data and census population estimates. This count represents all domestic violence-related deaths known to us at the time of the Report, including intimate partners and related persons, such as new relationship partners, children and other family members. To show the full scope of lives lost due to domestic violence, statistics also include deaths of alleged perpetrators, most of whom completed suicide after killing or attempting to kill the victim(s). Numbers in these charts are subject to change slightly from year to year as new information on individual cases is reported or known to us.
