LinksMale Victims of Domestic Violence: A Substantive and Methodological Research Review
http://www.xyonline.net/downloads/malevictims.pdf
This essay will examine the claims of gender symmetry in domestic violence. I will examine all existing sources of data on domestic violence, and suggest why the rates of domestic violence appear so varied. I will offer some ways to understand and reconcile these discordant data, so that we may acknowledge the male victims of domestic violence within the larger frameworks of male-female relationships that we observe in modern society.

Public Information bank- Male Victims Of Domestic Violence

The vast majority of recorded incidents of domestic violence are of men on women. Society, although aware of the male victim, treats him as a joke. In realty he is a man in fear, a man in isolation, a man stigmatized as weak. Why? Because he does not conform to the stereotypical male image.

The Whole Truth About Domestic Violence
http://home.comcast.net/~philip.cook/essays/the_whole_truth_about_dv.htm
Some common patterns of behavior by victims and abusers have emerged; perhaps the most striking is the similarity between female and male victims and their abusers. Of the differences, the biggest is one of public and personal perception. In most cases, male victims are stuck in a time warp; they find themselves in the same position women were in twenty years ago. Despite the overwhelming numbers of male victims of domestic abuse, their problem is viewed as of little consequence, or they are somehow seen to be at blame for it.

Who is really in the ER?
http://home.comcast.net/~philip.cook/essays/Emergency_Rooms.html
The Journal of the American Medical Association has published a report which was recently picked up by the Associated Press and printed in a few newspapers, but it deserves more detailed attention primarily because it challenges common assumptions about a serious health and social issue. The study examined 516 patients seeking services in the emergency room of Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana. Out of these numbers, a slightly greater number of men were victims of physical domestic violence than were women (20% vs. 19%). The doctors also said, "We determined that women experienced significantly more past and present nonphysical violence, but not physical violence than men."
