Many crimes, such as assault or peeping or stalking, are sexually motivated but not easily identifiable when looking at prior criminal history; Make Strangulation an Enhance-able Third Degree Felony because incidents of strangulation in intimate partner relationships indicate both a progressing nature of abuse and a high degree of danger for the victim; or Foster Real System Change by creating a Domestic Violence Fatality Review statute, similar to the child fatality reviews, that establishes a framework for family violence community partners to come together to look at these deaths to determine what could have been done differently – and may have saved a life.
