Document Summary
One of the most dangerous call that police officers go on is domestic violence calls. In 2500 b. c: a man could beat his wife with a brick engraved with her name for talking back. Solving the problem against women problem, starts with men. Women are more at risk in their own home, than out in the street. It is hard to believe men, especially because men are bigger. Violence against men by women: taken less seriously, less empirical data exists, drawing attention to issue impedes more serious battle that is violence against women. Feminist argue that research will take money away from research for women being abused: reluctant to acknowledge abuse, women"s abuse is more visible, given greater severity. If children grow up in a family where they are constantly seeing abuse happen. They are more likely to be in an abusive relationship or be an abuser.
