Nevada ranks sixth in the nation in the rate of women killed by men, according to a study published by a gun control advocacy group.
A nationwide analysis of 2012 homicide data by the Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C., shows that nearly two female victims are killed at the hands of male victims for every 100,000 residents in Nevada.
Nationwide, 1,706 women were murdered by men in 2012, at a rate of 1.16 per 100,000.
