domestic violence
From my sociology homework reading:
"A Cook County (Illinois) Dept. of Corrections study of a Chicago women's prison found that 40% of inmates incarcerated for murder or manslaughter had killed partners who repeatedly assaulted them. These women had sought police protection at least five times before resorting to homicide."
That's...upsetting. To say the least. It implies stuff about the police you don't really want to know. But considering I've been reading about the WTO protests, it's not too surprising. Which is also upsetting.
