Surge of Female-Perpetrated Domestic Homicides
Surge of Female-Perpetrated Domestic Homicides
Updated October 11, 2024
Thousands of studies over the last 40 years show conclusively that domestic violence is not a gendered phenomenon – men and women commit and are victimized by domestic violence at near equal rates.
There is evidence going back 20 years that younger women have become significantly more violent in recent years. Accordingly, a flurry of stories have been published in recent weeks about women who murdered their male partners. In some of these cases, the women made false allegations of domestic violence against their partners, claimed self-defense, or both.
The following media reports, listed in reverse chronological order, suggest that police and prosecutors may be doing a better job of seeing through the false narrative that domestic violence consists of male perpetrators and female victims:

The Best Motorcycles from the 1970s Are A Blast From The Past
The 1970s was a starting point for a new league of bikes. In the 1970s buyers and riders would start seeing some of the seeds of motorcycles that we have come to know today.
Some motorcycle trends from the 1970s include vintage styling making a comeback as well as highly specialized motorcycles. The 1970s saw one of the largest spikes in riders to this date and even faced some of the declines that came in the later years when vehicles and other modes of transportation became popular. Here are some of the best motorcycles from the 1970s.
This upcoming Kawasaki could go a 1/4 mile in just 12 seconds.
Kawasaki H2 750
First on this list is the H2 Mach IV which was a 750 cc 3-cylinder engine production bike built and manufactured by Kawasaki from 1971 through 1975. Straight from the factory, the H2 was able to race a 1/4 mile in just 12 seconds and had upgraded handling compared to its predecessor the Mach III.
Kawasaki was inspired to build the H2 Mach IV after the success of the H1 Mach III from the late 1960s. The H1 had a 500 cc engine and had 3,500 rpm and redlined at 7,500 rpm.
Hodaka Super Rat
During its life span, hundreds of thousands of Hodaka Super Rats would be sold all over the globe. The company that made the Hodaka was located in the state of Oregon and had been previously owned by Shell Oil Company from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s.
The company’s mission statement read, “Motorcycling is fun. No one should have to strain their budget to enjoy it.” With that in mind, the company built bikes that were simple, with low maintenance costs, that anyone on any budget could enjoy riding.
Moto Guzzi V7 Sport
The Moto Guzzi V7 Sport was the first bike manufactured by the Italian manufacturing company Moto Guzzi. Based on the V7 Roadster, the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport came with a brand new design that included clip-on handlebars.
Compared to the previous model, the V7 was lighter, had better handling and was generally more well received and popular than its predecessor. In 2008, Moto Guzzi unveiled the “V7 Special” which paid homage to the 1970’s model.
Suzuki GS750
The Suzuki GS750 was part of Suzuki’s GS series which had a full range of 4-stroke powered road bikes after selling only 2-stroke bikes up until the 1970s. The first bike that Suzuki designed with a 4-stroke engine was the Colleda COX in 1955 that had 125 and 93 cc engines.
After more research, Suzuki designed the GS series and perfected the 4-stroke bike while still selling popular 2-stroke motorcycles. Sold along with the GS750 was the GS400 which debuted in 1976.
