FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Beshear-Coleman administration released the 2024 Kentucky Domestic Violence Data Report and announced a new dashboard designed to provide critical information to support victims and reduce domestic violence-related crime across the commonwealth, according to the Governor’s Office.
The 2024 report compiles statewide statistics to assist law enforcement, victim advocates and policymakers in combating domestic violence and seeking justice for survivors. The latest data shows that levels of domestic violence remained stable compared to the year before, with 17,023 emergency protective orders and temporary interpersonal orders served by law enforcement, and 15,386 individuals receiving services from ZeroV, the state’s coalition of domestic violence shelters.
First Lady Britainy Beshear led the dashboard announcement, continuing her administration’s focus on supporting domestic violence survivors. The new tool aims to consolidate data from multiple sources to provide comprehensive insights into domestic violence patterns, victim needs and offender behavior across Kentucky’s counties and regions.
The effort builds on several legislative initiatives signed into law by Governor Andy Beshear. In 2023, the governor signed Senate Bill 79, creating the Safe at Home Program, which protects the residential addresses of domestic violence survivors and others in their households. Additionally, legislation in 2022 and 2023 required the collection and analysis of data related to domestic violence arrests, domestic violence shelter use and reports of child abuse.
Data indicates Kentucky faces significant challenges with domestic violence. Nearly half of all adults in Kentucky will experience domestic violence or intimate partner violence in their lifetime, and between 2016 and 2022, almost half of all violent incidents involved domestic violence.
The dashboard is expected to help state agencies, law enforcement and victim services organizations respond more effectively to domestic violence cases. Residents seeking help can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or access Kentucky’s 15 domestic violence shelters, which operate 24/7 to provide emergency shelter and supportive services.
