According to a report by the United States Department of Justice, a survey of 16,000 Americans showed 22.1 percent of women and 7.4 percent of men reported being physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, boyfriend or girlfriend, or date in their lifetimeWomen are much more likely than men to be murdered by an intimate partner. Men kill their female intimate partners at about four times the rate that women kill their male intimate partners. Research by Jacquelyn Campbell, PhD RN FAAN has found that at least two thirds of women killed by their intimate partners were battered by those men prior to the murder.
Women are far more likely to use weapons in their domestic violence, whether throwing a plate or firing a gun
Some studies suggest that men are less likely to report being victims of domestic violence due to social stigmas.
Interesting but so depressing ;_;
