I agree with chatty. Assuming the DV rates truly are down, I think increased awareness resulting from books like Dianne's and others is a factor. Increased economic independence which enables more women to leave and better law enforcement is probably important also. Maybe DV will someday be completely eliminated from our world. Hopefully in our lifetime.
