Family Violence Training - Augusta

The Prosecuting Attorney's Council of Georgia and the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council presents: Family Violence Training 2023.

From 2003 through 2016, at least 1671 Georgia Citizens lost their lives due to Domestic Violence. Georgia ranks 8th in the nation for the rate at which men kill women in single-victim, domestic violence-related murders. Firearms were the leading weapon of choice by batterers. In over 41% of the cases, children were present during the domestic violence homicide.
