    I'm sorry. What's the point here? What's this got to do with workplace safety? Or are we saying that if you're a woman and live in one of these states you should move because you're more likely to become a victim of a domestic violence murder?

    And don't get me started on the "Violence Policy Center" and it's generally flawed statistical mehodology.

    I would like to see how many homicides occurred 'as domestic violence came to work' situations,ie: occurred in the workplace. Such information or correlation does not always get captured, but most certainly translates to workplace violence. If we are going to look only at cold stats and see men-murder-women numbers, we need to look at the opposite as well.
