How the hell can they get more money if it's proven and accepted that their lying about domestic violence is just another bit of orchestrated hysteria. Where in the world would that stop, forcing the world to believe that "Women are capable of violence". Perish that thought..
No equal opportunity here. Women are not permitted by feminists to be batterers, abusers or involved in any DV, by order of..
Quote #1: Dr Graham-Kevan said: "We wanted to find out whether men's use of controlling behaviour within a relationship is different to women's. This
is important as the current treatment approach in the UK is based upon the
premise that men use control as a means of enforcing male supremacy over
women. If women are using controlling behaviours in similar ways to men
then this undermines such an approach."
Quote #2: Male and female domestic violence perpetrator reports of
controlling behaviour across samples from the UK (36 men and 50 women), and
the USA (231 men and 184 women) were compared. The results found that the
controlling behaviour of men and women were very similar. "Men and women
perpetrators of domestic violence were found to have very similar levels of
financial control, sexual control and intimidation in relationships. This
leads us to believe that we can't only attribute controlling behaviour to
men."
Quote #3: "The results of this study tell us that we need to challenge some
of the assumptions around domestic violence if we are to really tackle the
issue and develop programmes that prevent continued violence, one such
assumption is that controlling behaviour in relationships is unique to men."

Here's what ideologically- driven, man-hating feminists are saying about
this report. Notice both the denial, hatred and venom in their words.
1. Karen Henning: Another Study to avoid Looking at Men's Violence. Another
Study to muddy the waters and avoid looking at the violence of Men... and
how it relates to Male supremacy.
2. Martin Dufresne: found this juxtaposition very telling of the author's
agenda: "...it was found that 10 per cent of the female victims had hit out
first during the violent episode."
(...) ""It seems that once a punch is thrown, whether it is from the man or
the woman, then all acceptable behaviour goes out of the window," continued
Dr Graham-Kevan. "
3. Stephen McArthur: In the last few weeks I have had the privilege to hear
Eve Ensler, Lundy Bancroft, and Gloria Steinhem speak and each of them
spent time addressing the backlash against the movement to end men's
violence against women, and Lundy spoke specifically about the
well-organized, internet active, men's supremacy movement which, by the
way, will exploit this study for all it's worth. The meaning, impact and
intent of women's violence is clearly different from men's, especially in
the context of domestic and sexual violence. This perverse distortion of
reality only serves sexism and men's continuing oppression of women. The
next thing they'll have you believe is that most rapes are committed by
women, that war is waged mostly by women, and that a culture of female
violence is at the root of most of the violence in our lives. - Stephen

Psychologists Examine Role Of Control In Domestic Violence
Male and female perpetrators of domestic violence exhibit similar levels of
controlling behaviour. This is one of the findings of a study presented at
the British Psychological Society <http://www.bps. org.uk/> Division of
Forensic Psychology <http://www.bps. org.uk/dfp/> annual conference
<http://www.medicaln ewstoday. com/articles/ 153868.php> yesterday, 23 June
2009 at the University of Central Lancashire, Preston.
Dr Nicola Graham-Kevan from the University of Lancaster compared the
controlling behaviours of men and women perpetrators and victims of
domestic violence from new data from the UK, the USA and Mozambique.
Dr Graham-Kevan said: "We wanted to find out whether men's use of
controlling behaviour within a relationship is different to women's. This
is important as the current treatment approach in the UK is based upon the
premise that men use control as a means of enforcing male supremacy over
women. If women are using controlling behaviours in similar ways to men
then this undermines such an approach."
Male and female domestic violence perpetrator reports of controlling
behaviour across samples from the UK (36 men and 50 women), and the USA
(231 men and 184 women) were compared. The results found that the
controlling behaviour of men and women were very similar.
"Men and women perpetrators of domestic violence were found to have very
similar levels of financial control, sexual control and intimidation in
relationships. This leads us to believe that we can't only attribute
controlling behaviour to men."
In a further sample of 1,442 female victims of domestic violence in
Mozambique it was found that 10 per cent of the female victims had hit out
first during the violent episode. These women were found to be high in
levels of a variety of controlling behaviours including intimidation and
financial control as well aggression towards their male partners. These
more controlling and aggressive women were also on the receiving end of
worse levels of violence.
"It seems that once a punch is thrown, whether it is from the man or the
woman, then all acceptable behaviour goes out of the window," continued Dr
Graham-Kevan.
"The results of this study tell us that we need to challenge some of the
assumptions around domestic violence if we are to really tackle the issue
and develop programmes that prevent continued violence, one such assumption
is that controlling behaviour in relationships is unique to men."

Abstract (from Conference Program):
Controlling behaviours of male and female partner violence perpetrators
Nicola Graham-Kevan
University of Central Lancashire
UK policy on domestic violence places the need to control a romantic
partner as central to the understanding and treating of men's violence
towards their partners. Convincing evidence exists however that both men
and women who are partner violent also use controlling behaviour. This
presentation discusses new data on partner violence and control from
several samples: A sample of men and women attending batterer programmes in
the USA, a sample of male and female students from the USA & UK, a
population sample of women from Sweden, three samples of partner violence
perpetrators attending treatment in the UK (two community and one prison
based). Sex and sample differences and similarities will be discussed in
relation to current government thinking and practice guidelines.

Sex differences in and predictors of violent and nonviolent offending
Abi Thornton, Nicola Graham-Kevan and John Archer
University of Central Lancashire
Offending and antisocial behaviour are traditionally deemed to be male
dominated acts. However, an area of research which conflicts with this
pattern is partner violence (PV) research. Studies have found that women
can be as violent as men within intimate relationships. Few studies have
assessed general violence, PV and non-violent criminal behaviour in men and
women, although the General Theory of Crime suggests that offenders rarely
specialise and instead have a propensity to commit wide variety of criminal
acts. This study investigated sex-differences in the perpetration of
general violence, PV and non-violent offending in a sample of men and
women. Sex differences in personality and personality disorder traits were
also investigated. Findings showed correlations between the three crime
categories for both men and women. Many sex differences in risk factors for
offending were found however, suggesting that men's and women's involvement
in crime may have different etiological origins.

Investigating Three Explanations of Women's Relationship Aggression by
Nicola Graham-Kevan & John Archer
http://www.blackwel l-synergy. com/doi/full/ 10.1111/j. 1471-6402. 2005.00221. x
Appeared in Psychology of Women Quarterly, 29, 3, 2005. Reputable research
that rejects the emerging idea that "intimate terrorism" is the preserve of
males. (Note: You may need institutional membership of a University Library
to access this article).
ABSTRACT
This study investigated explanations of women's partner aggression in a
sample of 358 women. Women completed measures of physical aggression,
control, and fear. Three explanations of women's partner aggression were
explored: (a) that its use is associated with fear, (b) that it is
reciprocal, and (c) that it is coercive. Each explanation received partial
support, with multivariate analysis showing that collectively they
explained significant proportions of the variance in women's self-reported
use of physical aggression toward their male partners. These results
indicate that women's physical aggression toward male partners cannot be
understood using a unitary explanation.

Respect conference: Does gender matter?
17th January 2008 at the Sage Centre, Gateshead
9am - 4.45pm
Respect, with support from the Northern Rock Foundation, hosted a
conference at the beautiful Sage Centre in Gateshead. The theme of the
conference was to explore the meaning and function of gender in the
experience, and use of, a range of abusive behaviours in intimate
relationships. Gender remains a topic of debate, for example, in terms of
how we understand women's use of violence, men's experience of abuse and in
the construction of responses to domestic violence.
Chair
The conference was chaired by Beatrix Campbell
