Today, the Sacramento Bee published two important articles about strangulation assaults and their correlation to the murders of women in California and nationally. They are both worth the read and share. ![]()

The articles are even more troubling in the light of Futures Without Violence's current bill(AB 2790) in California seeking to end any mandatory reporting by medical professionals treating serious injury strangulation assaults. Worse yet, while ending mandatory reporting to law enforcement they are not supporting bedside advocacy for domestic violence victims or funding for training for medical professionals. Sexual assault victims receive advocacy by right and law in California. Domestic violence victims, AB 2790, will receive a "referral" that will likely end up being a piece of paper. AB 2790 ignores how serious strangulation assaults are compared to other types of domestic violence and how predictive they are of later homicides of women and even police officers. If a woman is strangled one time by her partner, she is 750% more likely to later be murdered by him. 75% of police officers killed in 2017 were murdered by men with a history of domestic violence against women prior to killing a law enforcement officer. And almost all officers in the study were killed by men who had previously strangled a woman.![]()

The Training Institute opposes AB 2790 -- it is terrible public policy based on misrepresented national research and has not basis in California practice by those working in a medical setting with seriously injured victims. We urge California Legislators to oppose AB 2790 and support a statewide process to create a bill next year that can be a national model for meeting the medical and advocacy needs of domestic violence victims in California.![]()
