Question

According to domestic violence research by straus (2011), wives attack their husbands as often as husbands attack their wives. husbands attack their wives twice as often as wives attack their husbands. domestic violence is mainly limited to couples who are not married. the secret to curbing violence is to focus on men.

Answer 1

The correct answer is wives attack their husbands as often as husbands attack their wives.

According to Murray Strauss' research on domestic violence, it is a myth that husbands are more abusive to wives than the other way round. Strauss claimed that women are equally likely to attack their husbands. Instances of domestic abuse perpetrated by wives towards their husbands are under-reported and seem low since men are less likely to step forward and report they have been domestically abused compared to women.
