The Costs of Intimate Partner Violence in Louisiana 

As highlighted in a recent Newcomb Institute report, violence remains at epidemic proportions in the U.S. and in Louisiana. This includes gender-based violence, community violence and policing, and gun violence.  

The focus of this report is on intimate partner violence (IPV) experienced by women – and the costs of this violence. By contributing to the evidence needed to inform policy debates in Louisiana, the aim is to build support across the political spectrum to address violence against women.
