Conventional wisdom holds (i) that physical domestic violence is mainly
perpetrated by men against women; (ii) that violent men, being physically
stronger, inflict more pain and serious injuries than violent women; and
(iii) that physical violence runs in families. To examine all three beliefs,
we bring to bear nationwide sample survey data.

Domestic violence is usually seen as inflicted on women by men. But a
fictional book and some research say the abused victim is quite often the
man. Lynnette Haas reports. Posted 5/4/99

AMIS (Abused Men In Scotland) Media Release - October, 15, 2010
A new Scottish charity, AMIS, is formally launched today (Friday 15
October 2010) to raise awareness of the number of men in Scotland on the
receiving end of domestic abuse and draw attention to the lack of
services designed to help them.
AMIS today publishes statistics from the 8 Scottish police forces that
show an increase of around 9.4% in the number of incidents that they
recorded as domestic abuse or violence with a man as the victim in
2009-10 compared to 2008-9. The statistics also reveal a reduction of
6.1% in the number of incidents recorded with a woman as victim compared
to 2008-9.
Within the acknowledged limitations of police statistics* one in six of
recorded victims was male yet the reality remains that after 10 years of
the Scottish Parliament there are virtually no support services in
Scotland designed to help men and their children affected by domestic
abuse or violence.
Co-founder of AMIS, Alison Waugh, says, “Unfortunately there is still a
culture of denial among many politicians and providers of services who
do not want to acknowledge the evidence in front of their eyes that
thousands of men every year in Scotland are victims of domestic abuse.
They are abused first by their partner or ex partner and then again by
the public narrative that does not want to know about the damage they
and their children experience.” More..
