Article Critique for Public Policy

I would agree with Suzanne10 in her suggesstion that the author add more information pertaining to the rest of the world, as oppossed to just the United States. I am curious if this topic has been discussed in depth in other countries, as it is relatively new topic of discussion in the United States. I also wonder if it is neccesary to include more information on the other leading causes of death of pregnant women, in addition to the focus on domestic violence. I am not sure if this would be applicable because the article is part of a series on "Violence against women." Overall, I think the article is interesting and I applaud the author for creating a new page on a topic that there is not much research on. TROVB5Trovb5 (talk) 18:47, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

I feel this article has a great beginning. It is an important topic that needs to be discussed in-depth. Some suggestions for improving this article include current/updated research, inclusion of hard data, and a discussion of the link between domestic violence and the murder of pregnant women. Many states have statutes dealing specifically with the murder of pregnant women and it would be helpful to include that information. The stories of individual murders help give this topic a "real face" so I would like to see more of them from various locations.Dvpolicy11 (talk) 21:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Great suggestions! One thing I will add though is that the mentions of individual murders all need to be notable enough for inclusion. Although they may give the article a "real face", as you put it, the article needs to be encyclopedic. So, although they can be included, be very careful that the additions are notable. – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 04:47, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Were you really working on this at 3 a.m.? Is that what I have to look forward too in my last semester? I don't know that this is relevant to the wiki but just a thought. Have there been or are there underway studies looking at predictive factors for which pregnant women are most at-risk to be murdered by partner? Thanks for your commitment to educating folks about this important issue. Anne CortesAC19 (talk) 17:20, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Anne. No I wasnt working at 3 a.m. but did not get it moved until yesterday. There are some studies looking at predictors and I will discuss those during my presentation. One huge predictor is prior violence (intimate partner violence). Thanks for your interest. TracyDvpolicy11 (talk) 17:28, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

The second sentence says that this problem is occuring in the United States but then has parenthesis saying "as well as the world." However, there is no other mention of any studies, research, statistics, etc. in this article except for those relating directly to the United States. I would suggest to add that information or simply remove those parenthesis and stay focused on the US. Further down in the article it discusses system wide training of DV and how it is needed. I would suggest adding some exact topics, cases that would be discussed, etc. Do you think training only is needed or possibly policies? How can this training be implemented and maybe provide some examples of the referals. Anyway, these are only suggestions but I thought this was a very interesting article. Suzanne10 (talk) 17:40, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Because the article is "Murder of pregnant women" and not "Murder of pregnant women in the United States", it is best to globalize the article. You'll see I have changed the sentence you mentioned above. – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 22:12, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Execution

Is it legal to execute a pregnant woman? --Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 22:27, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

wow

This was one of the most biased and worst referenced pages I have ever seen on Wikipedia. I found a reference to this page because someone was referencing it in a discussion to prove that 20% of woman who die during pregrnancy are murdered. Your article here states that and references a news article that alludes to that but does not prove it.

Citation needed for DV victim ratio

I added a citation needed tag to the claim that most domestic violence victims are women. A meta study that looked at 221 studies found that women are as violent, if not more so, than men: http://web.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm. If you're going to claim the opposite, please cite sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:56A:F2D0:CE00:D192:7603:4149:7959 (talk) 04:51, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
