Why use data?

• If you don’t count it, it doesn’t count

• Builds credibility

• The numbers favor family violence

I don’t care what the research says, we

need to do [X]!

I’ve helped fill out the forms these

data are based on. I know they’re

flawed.

Quantitative studies suppress victims’

voices.

You can get statistics to say anything you want.

The numbers don’t capture what’s really

going on here.

I’m afraid to use statistics

because I don’t really get them.

The study’s not valid because it didn’t include Latinas.

The study’s not valid because it didn’t include women who

didn’t seek help.

The study’s not valid because it didn’t include

emotional abuse.

Why don’t we use data?

• agency reports > prevalence estimates• reports ≠ individuals

• Reports are not only FV

• “n/a”• Insufficient data to calculate a reliable estimate

• Differences appear large, but are not• reports ≠ individuals

• reports cover more than FV

Ohio 2.4 2.2 2.3

Long term care (LTC) facilities that receive Medicaid

funding (i.e., virtually all) must report

any allegations of abuse, neglect or exploitation to

the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). Each

year, ODH receives about 4,900 such “self‐ reported

incidents” (SRIs) where the perpetrator is identified

as a staff or family member. ODH reviews all SRIs

and refers some to the Ohio Attorney General for

further investigation. These data represent such

referrals. Because data are tallied in the same

manner across Ohio, they may be useful to examine

geographic differences.

This chart suggests that collectively, the facilities in Pickaway

County have about the same rate of SRIs compared to

similar areas in Ohio.

Points you can make


• FV is as common as other well-

recognized threats

• FV places a tremendous burden on

agencies

• Many victims remain hidden

36

Intimate partner violence places a tremendous burden on agencies in Franklin County. A recent found that that each year, local law enforcement records 7,213 victims involved in domestic violence incidents, local courts receive 2,085 petitions for domestic violence civil protection orders and local shelters provide emergency housing for 244 adults and 211 children.

Examples

37


Many victims of elder abuse remain hidden from agencies. A recent study estimated that each year in Licking County, over 1,400 seniors in the community are abused, neglected or financially exploited, yet adult protective services averages only 80 such reports per year.
