REMEMBER
REMEMBRANCE & PUBLIC RECORD
Every statistic had a name. Every name had a life.
The Violet Thread documents deaths of intimate partner violence homicide to preserve the public record, recognize patterns that may inform prevention, and remember the people whose lives were far more than the circumstances of their deaths.
THE ARCHIVE — PUBLIC RECORD
Verified information, held with care.
This archive allows visitors to browse verified IPV homicide records. Public-record information remains factual, sourced, neutral, and clearly distinguished from memorial material.

LIVING MEMORIALS — REMEMBER THE LIFE
Their death is part of the record. Their life is the reason we remember.
Reserved for personal information that is appropriately contributed, approved, or sourced for remembrance. When permissions and information are available, memorials may preserve names, photographs, interests, accomplishments, relationships, memories, family messages, causes, and the details that help show who someone was beyond the violence that ended their life.
A memorial should never read like a crime summary.
FAMILY & LOVED ONES
Help us tell the life.
Public records can tell us what happened. They rarely tell us enough about who someone was.
If someone you love is included in The Violet Thread, you may share memories, photographs, biographical details, and the pieces of their life you want remembered.
You do not need to tell us about the violence. You do not need to discuss the person who harmed them.
You can simply tell us who they were.
Personal memorial material is handled separately from independently documented public-record research data.
REMEMBRANCE ETHICS
Person before case.
DIGNITY OVER SPECTACLE.
NO GRAPHIC IMAGERY.
NO SENSATIONALIZED STORYTELLING.
DOCUMENTED FACT AND FAMILY-CONTRIBUTED REMEMBRANCE ARE CLEARLY DISTINGUISHED.
CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL CREDIBLE INFORMATION ARE WELCOMED AND REVIEWED.
MEMORIAL CONTENT PRESERVES IDENTITY, DIGNITY, AND LIFE BEYOND THE HOMICIDE.
Every statistic had a name. Every name had a life.
