A study recently released by the Connecticut Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee shows that the state of Connecticut has exemplary responses in helping victims of domestic violence, but the study also highlights areas that need improvement.
Among the areas for which improvement is recommended is awareness and outreach. According to the study, most victims of deadly domestic violence did not reach out to their local family violence agencies for assistance.
