36% of Wisconsin females will experience domestic violence during their lifetime. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The local resource center Sojourner Family Peace Center reports it has seen a spike in intimate partner crime. On Monday, Milwaukee police found 40-year-old Kenita Sanders dead after her body was discovered in a garbage can near 22nd and Locust Police suspect her husband and are looking for him. There is a major effort to stop these fatalities through prevention, education, awareness, and research. That is the goal of the Jamie Kimble Foundation, which spearheaded a report released Tuesday.
