Check out the below link featuring Harry Crouch, executive director of the San Diego Mens Center in California. Harry brings up the unknown fact that in the 2007 national crime statistics report of 1.4 million women as domestic violence victims, 250,000 of those cases were rapes.
So that drops the 1.4 number of actual domestic violence victims closer to 1 million.
The stated number of domestic violence crimes against men is 835,000 -- with no rapes counted in that number (Harry specifically mentions jail rapes).
Current intimate partner domestic violence statistics are stating that domestic violence against men in our country is 30 percent of the cases against women Harry's facts change that to more like 40 to 45 percent -- almost 50 percent.
And yet very little funding is available for domestic violence against men. Something needs to change.

My wife and I just split or rather I escaped . I have a high security job and any arrest will cost me my job.Yet she wants to get physical.Not understanding if I hit her back I would hurt her because I'm at my limit. Then I would go to jail for defending my self and loose our income .Can't talk to her with out this being my fault. Constly attacking my manhood calling me a coward .I'm an ExMarine and areal fighter martial arts since 14 now I'm 50.So I had to move to an undiclosed location because she tracked me by my debit card. If I didn't work at a secure location she might even try to get at me there.She scares me because she's unstable . I truly love her but I feel I have no choice but to leave I cant take the emotional abuse much less the physical. I dont trust her to control her self and now I dont trust myself to be able to turn the other cheek
