As Esperanza Sees Spike In Victims, ‘Court Watch’ Program Seeks Volunteers
By Corey on February 5th, 2010
This chart is from the Esperanza Shelter for Battered Families in Santa Fe. It shows the dramatic increase in the number of domestic violence victims, both adults and children, they tended to last year, as well as a slight increase in the number of offenders who got some form of counseling through the shelter.
The shelter’s figures don’t give a complete picture, however. Police statistics provided by Santa Fe Domestic & Sexual Violence Liaison Carol Horwitz show fewer 911 calls, but more arrests.
Those stats, and more, after the cut.
