Kentucky continues to be ranked high in Victimization

National Institute Partner and Sexual Violence survey was just released and the news is not good for Kentucky.  The state ranks number one in regards to the number of stalking victims.  But that’s not all the bad news.  We continue to rank high in lifetime victimization of both men and women and in partner intimate violence which includes both physical and sexual violence.  These events lead to higher rates of health issues when compared to those who have no history of victimization.  You can access the study at https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/NISVS-StateReportBook.pdf
