Reply to comment by masterofshadows in Police: Husband shoots and kills wife in Monroeville, dies by apparent suicide after SWAT standoff by BecuzMDsaid

The Scottish government handily mentions that 56% of female victims are killed by a partner/ex partner.

Which becomes a rate of 0.17 female homicide by partner/ex partner per 100K people.

England and Wales claims 62% of female homicide victims are killed by a partner/ex partner.

England and Wales 0.21 female killed by partner/ex partner per 100M

US 55% by partner/ex partner.

US 0.77 Female homicide by partner/ex partner per 100k

So about 3x as much as the UK.

Thanks for putting in the work!

While the UK numbers do show the US has a big problem, it's still too high in the UK too and serious work needs put into addressing the problem.
