Gender disparity?
editIn the United States section there is a subsection titled 'Racial disparity'. Perhaps gender disparity should be added to this article as well. Such as analyzed in these RS for example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10209986/, https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-law-medicine-and-ethics/article/gender-and-stand-your-ground-laws-a-critical-appraisal-of-existing-research/AF2A985FB09F80750A4A8BEC75ED39B3, https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/show/the-legal-pitfalls-domestic-violence-victims-face-when-they-defend-themselves, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/29/elizabeth-flock-furies-domestic-violence-self-defense-law/
Practical Difference
editIs there any actual difference between stand your ground and duty to retreat? The article says that stand your ground means you can use lethal force if necessary to defend yourself and duty to retreat means you may not use lethal force to defend yourself unless this is necessary. Don't this both practically mean the same thing (if lethal force necessary then legal, if lethal force not necessary then not legal)? Shaked13 (talk) 18:59, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
