Here are some figures pertaining to male victims of domestic violence:

Quote:
(1) One in five (20%) men have experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16 and this equates to 3.2 million men
Three in ten (30.2%) women have experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16 and this equates to 4.8 million women.
(2) Men make up 40%* (two in five) of the victims of domestic abuse

Clearly the official figures show it to be far from a trivial matter and the numbers are on the increase. When you factor in the amount of official effort directed at encouraging women to report abuse and the abject lack of any camparable effort directed at male victims, I'd say the likelihood is that under-reporting by males far exceeds that by females. Of course, you wouldn't get that impression from anything Harman and this pathetic excuse for a government says or does.
