Since the subject of domestic violence has been brought into the picture does anyone know of reliable data concerning gender and victimization? I seem to remember reading something about the National Institute of Health and a U.S. Justice Department study showing that women victimize men at least as often as men victimize women and that ER admittance for injuries due to domestic violence was higher for men than women. (Although men kill their partners with greater frequency than women) Am I misremembering? I seem to remember one of these studies also showing no evidence that women's violence was not significantly attributable to 'self-defence'. Anyone know? John Thornton
