One in three of those saying they were attacked or abused at home were men.
In the year to March 2016 1.8m brifts (6%) of the adult population had suffered abuse. 1.2m and 651k men. The sex difference is the lowest ever.
Reports have quadrupled for men in 10 years.
The UK classifies serious verbal abuse in these stats. And they include elder abuse, and same sex couple stats too. That's 6.4% of men and 11% of women.
Four in ten of the offences resulted in the police asking for prosection and a further four in ten with warning. The CPS prosecuted 70% of the cases forwarded by police. In two thirds of cases the defendant pleaded guilty. Half of the remaining prosecutons were as a result of lack of cooperation by the target.
I am sad to say that was V two years ago.
This is just so sad.
