Domestic violence, including intimate partner violence, continues to be recognized as a major issue to the public. In 2003, the Federal initiative, Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) began in West Virginia, known as Project Safe Homes (PSH). The goal of PSH was to reduce the incidence of domestic violence in the northern district. This report, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics supports these efforts by providing statistics on the trends of domestic violence in the State of West Virginia and across Federal judicial districts. Information is also provided on the concentrations of high domestic violence rates in the State. Tables, graphs, notes, and references
