Thanks for posting this article. The author also indicated that these figures were probably an underestimate of the true cost, for that 886 thousand doesn't even include the cost of making sure children exposed to violence are safe.
I also noted that in the article the author stated that in the U.S., Tennessee had among the highest rates of women murdered by men. What the hell is going on with that?
