  • Should domestic violence be tracked as a crime?

    Amanda Pyron, President and CEO of The Network: Advocating Against Domestic Violence, joins Lisa Dent to discuss whether domestic violence should be considered when tracking crime numbers. Earlier this week, President Trump made comments downplaying domestic violence in reference to crime in Washington D.C.. Pyron says that the president comments are, “not only ill-informed, they also are counter to any narrative that would be realistic in reducing crime.”
