| Men Are Victims of Domestic Violence Too |
Women and children are not the only victims of
domestic violence. Men can also be the target of violence and abuse as well, but unfortunately, many men don’t step for forward to report the crime or seek the help they need.
The Cheshire Police Department in England actually found that the rate of domestic violence committed against men rose 9% between 2008 and 2009, and 36% percent from 2007 to 2009.
Although this statistic is from the UK, it is relevant to Californians because you can be sure there are thousands of men throughout the state who are subjected to violent, abuse, or mistreatment at the hands of their wife, partner, girlfriend, parent, sibling, or some other member of their household.
