From the blog:

Domestic crime is the driving force behind a consistently high number of homicides and assaults each year, and exacts a painful toll on the victims, their families and friends.

The numbers are telling: In 2007, there were 20,042 incidents of family violence in Connecticut.

Some of these are high profile cases, but most are not.
