Abstract

This study examined prevalence and characteristics of nonfatal strangulation (NFS) in medical forensic examinations from 2017 to 2023. A retrospective chart review of 1,396 records revealed 243 NFS cases (17.4%), prevalence increasing from 13.3% in 2017 to 22.2% in 2023. Adult NFS comprised 15.2% of cases, children 2.2%. Analysis of the NFS group revealed partner/spouse perpetrators were most common overall. Children were most commonly victimized by friends/acquaintances. NFS disproportionately affected females (94.2% of all NFS cases). Among children experiencing NFS, minority groups were overrepresented, accounting for 74.2% of pediatric NFS cases. The COVID-19 period showed distinct changes in age-related patterns.
