[excerpt]
In a study of 300 strangulation cases in San Diego, CA., over a five-year period, there was a history of domestic violence in 89 percent of the cases. The victims were virtually all women who reported being strangled by their male partners with bare hands, arms, or objects. Interestingly, most cases lacked sufficient evidence of strangulation because there were no visible injuries on the victim or the injuries were too minor or insufficient to photograph. These minor injuries were usually redness and small cuts or scratches on the victim’s neck.
