Battered Men

Battered Men:

"‘Forget what you’ve heard about domestic violence,’ says Patricia Pearson, author of When She Was Bad: Violent Women and the Myth of Innocence. ‘The truth is that women are just as likely to batter as men.’

The largest and most recent survey, conducted three years ago by the U.S. Department of Justice, reported that 39 per cent of spousal assault victims are men. Professor John Archer of the University of Central Lancashire in England reached a similar conclusion after analyzing 17 international studies from the US, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom published over the last 20 years."
