Female suicide, or the jealous ex killing a new partner, are not included either.

Domestic violence is a complex issue that "should" include, and address, a lot of cases that it currently doesn't, but for some there is not even an idea on how to start addressing them... so I think it makes sense to tackle the obvious ones first: homicides.

Once we get that sorted out, with no more people thinking that "their" mate is "theirs" to do what they please with, like they do with "their" kids or "their" dogs, including putting them down whenever they wish... we might be able to get to the next issue.
