Over half of all female murders are by current or former intimate partners.   This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has driven rates of domestic violence and DV related homicides. 

We know this trend exists.  But what can we do about it?  

Today we welcome special guest Kathryn Jacob, the CEO and President of Safe Haven of Tarrent County.  Kathryn Jacob is an expert in her field with over 20 years experience, and is a leader in the development of early intervention techniques to reduce domestic violence fatalities.

We discuss her work at Safe Haven, the results of the 2019 Fatality Report, what its like working with law enforcement amid the murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyde, etc, and how the COVID 19 pandemic has effected fatality rates in Tarrant County.
