The gender paradigm in domestic violence research and theory
http://www.mediaradar.org/docs/Dutton_GenderParadigmInDV-Pt1.pdf
Feminist theory of intimate violence is critically reviewed in the light of data from numerous incidence studies reporting levels of violence by female perpetrators higher than those reported males, particularly in younger age samples. A critical analysis of the methodology of these studies made with particular reference to the Conflict Tactics Scale developed and utilised by Straus and colleagues. Results show that the gender disparity in injuries from domestic violence is less originally portrayed by feminist theory. Studies are also reviewed indicating high levels of unilateral intimate violence by females to both males and females. Males appear to report their own victimization less than females do and to not view female violence against them as a crime. Hence, differentially under-report being victimized by partners on crime victim surveys.
