I don't know were you have this numbers from, but in 2021 34% of women were killed by partner and 76% of women where killed by a known person (family, friends, colleges, partner) [1].

Edit: 100% are murder victims

That’s out of women who were murdered or killed in manslaughter cases. OP was talking about base rates. 5000/170000000 is about 0.03%.

Your wording here is clumsy. You're saying that 34% of the adult female population was murdered by their partner. I'm assuming you meant female murder victims and not women in general?

		To clarify, its about murdered victims. I thought this was clear. I thought we are still talking about partnership and dating.

I think poster is looking at mortality risk, not mortality cause.

Your stats are for murder victims. I assume that the parent poster was talking about all causes of death.

I have no idea if their number is correct for that either.

Could be. But I'm not. And the context is App for dating.

>But I'm not.

But... you're trying to correct their statistics?

I agree with you that in the context, your stats maybe make more sense. But if you're going to correct someone, you generally should recognize what they were trying to communicate in the first place.

		I don't want to imply that someone tried to find the smallest possible number in order to deliberately misunderstand my comment, but we are still in the context of the dating app.
