Number of UK women convicted of domestic abuse doubles

[MMI]

Precicely my point Thorne...I mean we are speaking about domestic abuse and viloent crime here right..not breaking a nail or getting a skinned knee.

I think we are talking about abuse of men by women, generally, and at this point in particular, whether women use mental abuse in preference to physical abuse in contrast with men who would tend to abuse a woman physically.

The suggestion that mental injury always accompanies physical injury in cases of domestic abuse seems to be an attempt to lessen the seriousness of these crimes by women by elevating the crimes of men (ie, male abusers cause a double injury, female abusers only one).

We were also considering whether a female abuser would take advantage of her sex to avoid punishment by putting the blame on her victim.
