From Instapundit: “The most comprehensive review of the scholarly domestic violence research literature ever conducted concludes, among other things, that women perpetrate physical and emotional abuse, as well as engage in control behaviors, at comparable rates to men. The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge project, or PASK, whose final installment was just published in the journal Partner Abuse, is an unparalleled three-year research project, conducted by 42 scholars at 20 universities and research centers, and including information on 17 areas of domestic violence research.”
"Partner abuse is primarily a mutual phenomena. About 60% of domestic violence (partner abuse) is mutual (both partners are violent). Only a few states allow couples counseling for individuals who have been arrested for domestic violence, and in the vast majority of cases it is the male who is arrested.
John Hamel is the Director of PASK, the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project. He explains the the findings from this scholarly research.
