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.
Maybe sending the national guard can help reduce these domestic killings by standing around on the street with guns? Surely that would work better than directly funding programs to address domestic abuse?
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, Utah has the lowest rate of domestic violence against women and the second lowest homicide rate, just behind New Hampshire
But women are property don't you know? They don't deserve equal protection.
/s
They should probably tackle people by racial characteristics. What, most of them are white men?
{clutches pearls} Well, I never! We cannot have that for white people...
Nah, trump will just claim it's all black men doing all the spousal killing and that's that
