[Nevermore]

پژوهشی دیگر درباره ی خشونت خانگی صورت گرفته توسط Harvard Medical School:

Almost 25% of the people surveyed — 28% of women and 19% of men — said there was some violence in their relationship. Women admitted perpetrating more violence (25% versus 11%) as well as being victimized more by violence (19% versus 16%) than men did. According to both men and women, 50% of this violence was reciprocal, that is, involved both parties, and in those cases the woman was more likely to have been the first to strike.
Violence was more frequent when both partners were involved, and so was injury — to either partner. In these relationships, men were more likely than women to inflict injury (29% versus 19%).
When the violence was one-sided, both women and men said that women were the perpetrators about 70% of the time. Men were more likely to be injured in reciprocally violent relationships (25%) than were women when the violence was one-sided (20%).

نکته ی دیگر اینکه این فرضیه درست نیست که چون مرد ها از گفتن اینکه زنها را کتک می زنند شرم می کنند و در نتیجه دروغ می گویند،چرا که خود زنان هم مهر تایید بر این نتایج زده اند.
