quote,paraphrase,and citation #1

      "Rape and domestic violence are so common that some women don’t even count slapping, pushing or shoving as an incident. According to the Associated Press, 29 million women say they have suffered “severe and frightening physical violence” such as being choked, beaten, stabbed, shot, punched, slammed against something or hurt by hair-pulling. But that number goes up to 36 million if slapping, pushing and shoving are counted."


     There is a count in Houston at 29 million women who say were abused. However, if they were to count the slapping and stuff the number goes up another 36 million. If you ask me that number is far to high and should be prevented. I think the point they are trying to make in this paragraph is if the studies are so high why don't they start seprerating inmates, and make better programs to help people like this not just sit and wait for a report to make a scene out of.
