Yes.
According to the 2023-2024 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 41.6% of Oklahoma women and 25.5% of Oklahoma men, the eighth- and second-highest percentages nationwide, experience contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
This is a decrease from the 2010-2012 iteration of the survey in which Oklahoma’s statistics were 49.1% of women and 40.7% of men, reflecting trends in corresponding nationwide numbers, which became 9%t smaller for women and 45%t smaller for men.
The recent survey also reported that 37% of women and 33.9% of men living in Oklahoma experience domestic psychological aggression, including public insults or humiliation and coercive control–ranking Oklahoma at No.10 and No.1, respectively.
An analysis of 2023 male-on-female homicide data by the Violence Policy Center found that more than half of victims were wives or intimate partners with their killers.
