search site index faq about us ... what's new Domestic Violence Factoids Richard J. Gelles University of Rhode Island Family Violence Research Program Published: 1995 Understanding Domestic Violence Factoids According to the FBI, A Woman is Beaten Every (fill in the blank) SECONDS First, the FBI does not calculate, tabulate, or track data on domestic violence. The FBI once did estimate that a women is beaten every 15 seconds, but they derived this estimate from Murray Straus, Richard J. Gelles, and Suzanne K. Steinmetz's book, Behind Closed Doors: Violence in the American Family. Various other fact sheets list various other number of seconds. The number of seconds depends on the study (if there actually was one) and how violence was defined. For example, some versions of this factoid state that a women is beaten every 9 seconds and cite a study done by the Commonwealth Fund in July, 1993. The Commonwealth Fund study used the same measure as was used by Straus and his colleagues. Unlike Straus and his colleagues who defined "abuse" as acts of violence that were likely to cause and injury, the Commonwealth Fund defined "abuse" as every thing from pushing, shoving, and slapping to using a gun or knife. There Are Four Million Women Beaten and Abused Each Year Same problems as above. The Straus, Gelles, and Steinmetz survey estimated that 2 million women were abused each year by their husbands. Straus and his colleagues speculated that if all the respondents told the truth and if ex-husbands and boyfriends were included, the number could be as high as 4 million. However, no study to date using a representative sample and measuring severe violence, has found more than 2 million abused women each year.

The Men's Network Against Domestic Violence works to bring men together in finding everyday ways that promote relationships and homes free from violence. We believe the collective voice of non-violent men can make a difference in overcoming negative images, values, and beliefs of what is popularly portrayed as being a strong man and teach our children that strength comes from solving problems without violence. The good news is there are many things that can be done. They all result in more awareness, stronger community, individual growth, and potential for a better world for women, children, and men. While domestic violence is a serious issue, modeling positive alternatives doesn't have to be gruelingly difficult. You may notice we refer to a variety of programs that focus on other types of violence including dating violence, bullying, or sexual violence against women. They all have common threads and there is no way to simply end domestic violence without ending all violence against women, children, and men. Everyone deserves to live free of violence. Please help us create a safer world. Please read and

26. Men's Network Against Domestic Violence Between 9095% of domestic violence is committed by men.1 While there are women against men, the focus of involving men in ending domestic violence is http://www.menagainstdv.org/learn/learn2.html

Why All Men? Between 90-95% of domestic violence is committed by men. While there are limited cases of violence perpetrated by women against men, the focus of involving men in ending domestic violence is because they account for the majority of not only domestic violence, but for most violence in our society against men and women. If the focus on men can begin to reduce violence within our society, we are bound to create social change that benefits all those affected by violence and those with the greatest potential to inflict it. Secondly, boys and men build upon what they learn at home from messages they hear and see from their peers and our culture. This culture and the powerful forces within it such as media, education, sports and entertainment have historically rewarded and glamorized violence and its inherent connection to masculinity. Due to the incessant and unquestioned portrayal of masculinity in violent and oppressive ways, non-violent men cannot rely on their passive behavior and silence to suffice if we are to change a world where these values and beliefs get rewarded. We must speak out and change our role from passive by-stander to active and engaged role models. Our combined voices must confront these structures that lead men to feel entitled to use violence in relationships. While there are a few dedicated activists, you only have to attend a few domestic violence coalition and community network meetings to observe a conspicuous absence of involved men. Thankfully, there are growing numbers of men creating a national movement to address the role men must fulfill and to leverage the positive influence men can have on shaping children's values, beliefs, and attitudes.

Women are five to eight times as likely as men to be victims of domestic violence by intimate partners. Nearly 1/3 of women report that they have been physically or sexually abused by their husbands or boyfriends. Each year, between one and four million men and women in the U.S. are abused by current or former spouses, live-in partners, boyfriends, or girlfriends. Women are also violent. But women get injured by domestic violence more often than do men because men often resort to beating up or using a gun. Men also repeat violent acts more often than do women. Three-fourths of the victims of murder by intimate partners are women.

Not the 75% who batter or jointly batter, but the 25% who never hit? Many say these men don't exist or don't need help. This is to deny the stories men have shared with me about being battered and women have shared about their own unprovoked violence against their significant other. It also denies much research to the contrary, starting with the 1975 National Family Violence Survey, and substantiated by at least ten additional investigations, that husband abuse, not wife abuse, is the most underreported form of family violence, and it's the area that's on the rise. Why do we want to adamantly deny that this situation exists? If we aren't focused on controlling and preventing all domestic violence, somewhere underneath is the nagging question: aren't we really, then, encouraging and maintaining it by our inaction?
