46. How similar or different are male and female victims of domestic violence?
ANSWER:
As with female victims of domestic violence, male victims were overlooked in the
criminal justice process. Studies beginning in the 1970s have indicated that men do
experience violence in their households perpetrated by their female partners. The rate,
frequency, and severity of domestic violence with male victims is a contentious subject, as
members of the research community are not in agreement. Some argue gender symmetry
in the prevalence of domestic violence, while other statistical analyses show a much higher
rate of female than male victims. In addition, men and women respond differently to
violence. Men are far less likely to report, are treated with mockery by police, and carry
more stigma with their victimization due to the cultural belief that men are the heads of
households and therefore should have control over their wives.

47. What has the analysis of homicides resulting from interpersonal violence found?
ANSWER:
The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program’s research into homicide has brought
attention to the fact that male violence against female intimates is far greater than female
violence against male intimates. An analysis of murders between 1980 and 2008 by
Cooper and Smith (2011) found that approximately 40 percent of female murder victims
were killed by an intimate partner. During this same time period, the proportion of
murders by spouses fell steadily, but the proportion of murders by unmarried lovers rose
steadily. By 2008, homicides resulting from intimate partner violence were about evenly
divided between married and unmarried couples.
health and welfare of women. These skeptics argue that the rate of domestic violence has
recorded as well as minor assaults, making the rate appear higher than it really is.

48. Explain the debate over victim provocation and murder in cases of intimate partner violence.
ANSWER:
It is currently unknown how many male homicides are the results of domestic violence.
Victim-blaming and victim-defending arguments fuel a debate over conclusions regarding
murder being an end result of battery. Definitions of self-defense were written by men
with male concepts of how one reacts to violence. Self-defense requires imminent threat of
violence, and in cases when a woman kills her abuser, she often waits until a safe period to
do so. This is in direct conflict with self-defense and therefore is not a justification or
excuse for her crime.
Victim defenders argue that the abuser was responsible for his own demise, instigating the
crime. He left the woman with little choice for preserving her own life but to take his. The
abuser was responsible for changing his behavior to reduce his risk of violence. Victim
defenders will note that females who are abused often do not have an avenue for escape
for a wide variety of reasons and may not be protected by the criminal justice system,
despite repeated attempts to do so.

49. Explain the maximalist and minimalist positions on the subject of domestic violence.
ANSWER:
Maximalists contend that domestic violence is still considered a family private matter and
thus is not reported nearly to the rate at which it is occurring. Research statistics have
revealed that women are more at risk with their loved ones and in their own homes.
Alarmists argue that just from 2010 to 2012, 23 percent of all women in the United States
had been victims of serious physical violence from intimate partners. They further contend

50. Describe changes in the treatment of victims of domestic violence by police, prosecutors, and judges.
ANSWER:
The police response has improved dramatically in the last few decades. Police were
reluctant to do anything in domestic violence calls, often sympathizing with the offender.
Today, many jurisdictions have police supervision in the eviction of an abuser, inform the
abused person of their rights, have special domestic violence prevention officers who help
assist the abused person in getting a safety plan together. In addition, there is greater
awareness of violence between partners of the same sex as well as with couples who are
not married.
Prosecutors often discouraged filing charges in domestic violence cases due to the
perception that the victim would not proceed with the case. Now prosecutors are more
aware of the reasons that victims don’t proceed—fear of retaliation, manipulation by the
offender, and other forms of intimidation. Some jurisdictions have a no-drop approach,
wherein prosecutors can proceed without the victim’s testifying by using 911 recordings,
eyewitness testimony, police reports, emergency room reports, and statements made by
the abuser.
Judges also had a tendency to side with the abuser, as most judges are male. Currently,
judges have many options available to them to protect victims of domestic violence. In
addition, there are more avenues for a victim’s voice to be heard in the process, such as
acceding to their wishes in terms of setting bail, speeding up cases by avoiding
continuances, and issuing orders of protection or restraining orders.
