How destructive are the effects of domestic violence? An article from Psych Central gives us a perfect example: one of the most tragic outcomes of domestic violence is that well more than half of the young men between the ages of 11 and 22 who are in jail for homicide have killed their mother's batterer.
It's a frightening statistic but no more so than the number of women who have lost their lives or received permanent injuries due to domestic violence.
