I hear quite often about domestic abusers... (Update)

97. Abuse is ALWAYS wrong; however, we hear far more about women because women are far more likely

... to be abused.

"The American Bar Association and the Department of Justice provide the following statistics about domestic violence:

"about 25 percent of women and 7.6 percent of men are raped or physically assaulted by their spouse, partner, or dating partner in their lifetime"

The following statistics were provided by the Safe Horizon Organization:

women between the ages of 20 and 24 are the most likely to become victims of domestic violence
1 in 3 women killed by homicide are murdered by their current or former partner
3 million children in the United States witness domestic violence every year
25% of now homeless and former heads of households in New York City were the victim of domestic violence"

Violence, rape and abuse are always wrong regardless of the gender of the abuser or the abused. We will hear far more about the female victims of domestic because the victims of domestic abuse are twice as likely to be women. The perpetrators are three times as likely to be men.
