I was just wondering if you found an answer for this yet, i'm in college getting ready to do a long in depth paper on this and i'm trying to find as much info on why it happens and what we can do to stop it. If you've received any additional info, i would be very grateful if you would be willing to share a web site w/me or anything else that was given to you. Thanks for your time. Kristi

Grant and Kristi: good luck with your research. There are several books on the subject of domestic violence, but I'd like to add ABUSED MEN, by Philip Cook, to the mix. I believe that if we simply deal with the problem of abused PEOPLE, rather than segregate victims by gender, we'll be able to address the problem more effectively.
