You will hear facts such as ’90% of police charges’, or ‘hospital records’, or ‘prosecutions’ for domestic violence, are against men.

This is often used to substantiate the ‘gendered’ nature of these crimes.

But such things as police reports make incredibly poor barometers for real life rates, as so few men recognise their abuse, fewer still report it to police, and few still, lead to a charge.
