Information about abused women

greenspun.com : LUSENET : domestic violence : One Thread

I need help locating a specific question. One in how many women are abuse by their spouse or the person they are having a relationship with? I have found many stats on abuse, but not the answer to this question. 1 in how many? Please also send me the source for the information because I am giving a presentation on Tuesday to my college class.

Thank you

I don't know off-hand, but take a look at the references section on our website. There is a good bibliography there.

Please also be aware that men are abused as much as women are, as are gays and lesbians. It might make an interesting and new slant on your presentation to talk about how violence is more a human condition than something rooted in the male psyche.
