One form of domestic violence has proven to be the best indicator that not only are victims at high risk of being killed but also strangers, children and police officers.

The Sacramento Bee held a live Q&A with two Sacramento-area experts as they discuss what you should know.

The guests were:

• Joyce Bilyeu, Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center

• Dawn Bladet, assistant chief deputy district attorney with the Sacramento District Attorney’s Office Sex Crimes and Family Violence Bureau

The discussion WAS moderated by Sacramento Bee reporter Cathie Anderson.

This event is part of an ongoing public-service journalism project on domestic violence and isolation during the coronavirus pandemic. It is funded by Blue Shield of California Foundation; outside funders do not have editorial oversight.
