Source text - English Justice Department Releases '05 Intimate Partner Violence Data
December 20, 2007
On Thursday evening, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice released the latest edition of “Intimate Partner Violence in the United States,” updated with 2005 data. Overall, the report shows little change in rates of violence from 2004 to 2005.
Domestic homicides against women rose from 2004 to 2005, from 1,155 murders in 2004 to 1,181 in 2005. That means that, on average, in 2005 more than three women a day were murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in the United States. Domestic homicides against men dropped from 2004 to 2005, from 344 to 329.
The new report notes that partner violence is difficult to measure because it often occurs in private and victims are often reluctant to report incidents to anyone because of shame or fear of reprisal. It finds more than 564,392 intimate partner victimizations in this country in 2005 – with women the victims in the vast majority of incidents.
“The new data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that partner violence and domestic homicide remain costly and devastating problems in this country,” said Family Violence Prevention Fund President Esta Soler. “Although the overall decline in partner violence in the last decade is encouraging, it is clear that our nation is not yet doing nearly enough to keep women and children safe.”
The report finds that, as in the past, women ages 20 to 24 are at greatest risk for partner violence, and rates remain high for African American, American Indian and Alaska Native women.
Four-Year Analysis
From 2001 to 2005, children lived in households experiencing 38 percent of intimate partner violence incidents involving female victims.
Also during that period, half of females experiencing nonfatal intimate partner violence suffered an injury, with about five percent suffering serious injuries and 44 percent suffering minor injuries. Almost 63 percent of female victims of nonfatal partner violence reported being hit, slapped or knocked down; 55 percent said they were grabbed, held or tripped; and more than seven percent said they were raped.
In those four years, about 96 percent of females experiencing nonfatal intimate partner violence were victimized by a male and about three percent reported that the offender was another female. About four in five males experience nonfatal intimate partner violence (82 percent) were victimized by a female and about 16 percent reported that the offender was another male.
"There is no question that we have a lot more work to do to keep families safe," Soler added. "We have seen no new funding for the prevention programs in the Violence Against Women Act of 2005, and terrible shortfalls in spending for some of its most promising programs. We urge Congress to fully fund the Violence Against Women Act next year, so that we can do more to stop the violence that is still much too common in our families and communities."
The new report is based on the National Crime Victimization Survey and Supplementary Homicide Reports of the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program as presented in Homicide Trends in the United States. It is available online at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/intimate/ipv.htm#contents.
Translation - Portuguese Publicação do Departmento de Justiça Dados de 2005 sobre a Violência entre Parceiros *
20 de Dezembro de 2007
Na noite de quinta-feira, a Agência de Estatística de Justiça do Departamento de Justiça Americano publicou a última edição sobre a “Violência entre Parceiros nos Estados Unidos, ” com a atualização dos dados de 2005. De uma forma geral, o relatório mostra uma pequena mudança percentual de violência de 2004 para 2005.
Os homicídios domésticos contra as mulheres aumentaram de 2004 para 2005, de 1.155 assassinatos em 2004 para 1.181 em 2005. Ou seja, em média, em 2005 mais de 3 mulheres eram mortas por dia por seus maridos ou namorados nos Estados Unidos. O homicídio doméstico contra os homens reduziu de 2004 para 2005, de 344 para 329.
O novo relatório observa que a violência entre parceiros é difícil de mensurar porque occore frequentemente em local privado e as vítimas ficam muitas vezes relutantes em relatar os incidentes para qualquer pessoa por vergonha ou por temer ser repreendido(a). Mais de 564.392 foram vítimas de parceiros íntimos nesse país em 2005 – as vítimas na maioria dos incidentes são mulheres.
“Os novos dados da Agência de Estatística de Justiça mostra que a violência entre parceiros e o homicídio doméstico permanecem sendo um dos problemas mais onerosos e devastadores deste país,” diz a Presidente do Fundo de Violência Familiar Esta Soler. “Embora seja encorajador observar, de uma maneira geral, o declínio da violência entre parceiros da última década , está claro que nossa nação ainda não está fazendo, nem de perto, o quanto deveria para manter as mulheres e crianças a salvo”.
O relatório descobre que , como no passado, as mulheres que sofrem o maior risco de sofrer violência entre parceiros são aquelas entre 20 e 24 anos e a percentagem se mantém elevada para as Americanas Africanas, Americanas Indianas e as mulheres nativas do Alaska.
Quatro Anos de Análise
De 2001 a 2005, crianças que moraram em casas onde vivenciaram incidentes das violências de parceiros, 38% dos envolvendo vítimas femininas.
Também durante este período, metade das mulheres que sofreram ferimentos não letais devido a violência entre parceiros, aproximadamente 5% sofreram ferimentos sérios e 44% sofreram ferimentos menores. Quase 63% das vítimas femininas não fatais das violências entre parceiros relataram terem apanhado, levado tapas ou terem sido derrubadas; 55% falaram terem sido agarradas, seguradas à força ou derrubadas, mais de 7% contaram que foram estupradas.
Nesses quatro anos, aproximadamente 96% das mulheres que sofreram violência não fatais pelos parceiros foram agredidas por homens e aproximadamente 3% relataram que a agressora foi outra mulher. Em torno de quatro em cada cinco homens sofrem violência não fatal causada por um(a) parceiro(a), 82% são agredidos por mulheres e aproximadamente 16% relataram terem sido agredidos por um outro homem.
"Não há dúvida que temos muito mais trabalho a fazer para manter as famílias em segurança," Soler acrescentou. "Nós não temos visto novos fundos para os programas de prevenção no Ato da Violência Contra a Mulher de 2005 e temos visto terríveis déficits em desperdícios para alguns de seus mais promissores programas. Nós incitamos o Congresso à patrocinar completamente o fundo do Ato da Violência Contra a Mulher no próximo ano, assim poderemos fazer mais para parar a violência que ainda é muito comum entre nossas famílias e nossas comunidades."
O novo relatório é baseado na Pesquisa de Crime de Agressões Nacional e Relatórios de Homicídios Suplementares do Programa de Relatos de Crime Uniformes do FBI, como é apresentado nas Tendências de Homicídios dos Estados Unidos.

*Neste contexto parceiro já significa uma relação íntima. Seria redundante colocar na tradução parceiro íntimo.
