UTMB’s Jeff Temple writes about domestic violence: Approximately a quarter of women in the United States will be victims of severe physical domestic violence in their lifetimes and more than 100 Texas women will be killed by an intimate partner each and every year. Recent crime data tell us that nearly 200,000 incidents of family violence were reported to Texas law enforcement officials in 2013, and since most go unreported, this already alarming number represents only a small portion of actual incidents. Despite these statistics and the likelihood that someone close to each of us is in a violent relationship, it took the abhorrent actions of an NFL running back to draw renewed attention to these tragedies that occur every day.
