Examining Homicide's Contribution to Pregnancy-Associated Deaths
Article Abstract:
Several studies have shown that about one-fourth of all deaths among pregnant women or new mothers are caused by homicide. This makes homicide the leading cause of death in these women. Among non-pregnant women, homicide is the second leading cause of death among young women and the sixth leading cause of death in middle-aged women.
