Reports of domestic violence on rise among Canada's soldiers: MP

The Canadian military is receiving an increasing number of reports about soldiers acting out violently against their families, according to the NDP defence critic. Dawn Black, who is also MP for New Westminster-Coquitlam in British Columbia, has been collecting serious incident reports filed with the Canadian Forces. They suggest violence in military families is increasing, she told CBC News. "Certainly there's more reports of wife assault and angry soldiers exhibiting the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder after returning from Afghanistan," said Black.
