ORIGINAL: cornflakegirl Annually, compared to males, females experienced over 10 times as many incidents of violence by an intimate. On average each year, women experienced 572,032 violent victimizations at the hands of an intimate, compared to 48,983 incidents committed against men. (p. 6) http://www.aardvarc.org/dv/statistics.shtml#cites Edited to add: Erm, having scrolled down and read the rest of the replies, I shouldn't have posted again. Never mind, my bad. However, I read a stat somewhere (and far be it from me to recall it now) that said that while your stat is accurate, that females are victims more so than males, it also said that when females were the perpetrators of the violence, it ended in the man's death more so than when the woman is the victim. When a man commits domestic violence, he beats on his wife, feels bad over it, promises he won't it again (until he gets drunk and pissed off again of course). When a woman commits domestic violence, it's with a moving car, or a shotgun while he's sleeping, or a knife to his best friend since 6th grade.
