"WOMEN are less likely to fall victim to murder today than 20 years ago because they are more willing to walk out of violent relationships, a new study has revealed.
While the murder rate for young men has almost doubled since 1981, that for women has fallen by more than 10% because of a sharp decline in the numbers being killed by their husbands or partners."
