A Safe Harbor For Victims Of Domestic Abuse by Joe Johnson.  Onlineathens.com.  March 24, 2013.

These articles focus on domestic violence from a local, Athens, GA perspective.  The first article provides a primarily personal view from two survivors of domestic violence.  The second gives an overview of the work of local agencies and law enforcement to confront domestic violence.  The final article profiles Project Safe.

Statistics that struck me:    Georgia is ranked 10th in the nation for its rate of men killing women;  On average women leave an abusive relationship seven to 10 times.
