CORRECTION I wrote the following, but clearly incorrect statement. I have inserted the correction in caps. Sorry about this. Best, Joan Zorza
It is clear that far fewer men batter than the number of women who ARE BATTERED, in large part because many batterers are (1) involved with more than one woman simultaneously [indeed, for some of them, that is part of their abuse] and (2) these men are recycled far more often and quicker than are non-abusive men, giving even those who are monogamous more opportunity to sequentially batter other women. Our data of how many men batter is far less good than how many women are battered, but estimates I've seen seem to run more like 5-11% in the U.S. Joan Zorza, Esq. -Editor Domestic Violence Report & Sexual Assault Report 3097 Ordway St., NW Washington, DC 20008-3255 phone: 202-362-3715 fax: 413-513-8582 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.zorza.net ***End-violence is sponsored by UNIFEM and receives generous support from ICAP*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
