Kevin: Read Walker & Meloy's article, "Domestic Violence around the World" published in American Psychologist, 1999. They point out how domestic violence leads to societal violence. I've found Lenore Walker's material to be invaluable while conducting a research project. You don't happen to know of any recent studies on dating violence, do you?

The safe4all.org website has a bibliography that contains at least 4 references to dating violence (all showing gender-neutral levels of violence). I believe these are all in peer-reviewed journals.
