The murders sparked protests in Messina, Rome and other Italian cities, including Bologna, on Wednesday night. Further events are planned on Thursday.
In March, Giorgia Meloni’s government approved a draft law which for the first time introduced a legal definition of femicide in criminal law, punishing it with life in prison while increasing sentences for crimes including stalking, sexual violence and “revenge porn”.
The law followed the strong public reaction to the killing of Giulia Cecchettin, a 22-year-old student who was murdered by her former boyfriend, Filippo Turetta, in November 2023. Turetta was sentenced to life in prison in December.
3 out of 8 is a weird way to present a static. Kinda a red flag for spotting anyone trying to push a narrative. There’s more than enough data on this to present information in solid percentages or when dealing with population numbers of a society in the millions to billions people in base 10 numbers. 1:10, 1:100, 1:1000… 3 out of 8?! Like what was your sample size? 8?!
Little odd of course, but not the worst way to try to illustrate more than 1/4 but not 1/2… Which seems to be in the ballpark of the number he mentioned. If 40% of spousal murders are committed by women it fair to say it’s not “always men”, but it is more than half but less that 3/4.
