Question: Domestic Violence in the 1970s

I found this sentence in a zine (it was obviously a clipping from an article or study that was cut and paste into the zine) from the 1980s. I was wondering how I would either find that article/study or something similar (i.e. how many women were killed as a result of domestic violence in the 1970s):

"During the Vietnam War over 30,000 Americans were killed. During the same time frame, over 17,000 American women were killed as a result of domestic violence."
