AlterNet has a very interesting article up.

Some of the most interesting things I saw were:

• "In the three decades from 1976 to 2005, the number of men killed by female partners has dropped precipitously, from about 1,300 to 329. But homicides of women by male partners has declined far less, dropping from around 1,500 to about 1,200, figures from the U.S. Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics show."
  
• Early this June, Gov. Deval Patrick (of Mass.) declared a Domestic Violence Emergency. In Massachusetts, homicides commited by domestic partners almost tropled to 42 in 2007 from 15 in 2005.
