The goal of CUT IT OUT is to build awareness of domestic violence through posters and brochures displayed in salons. Salon professionals will also be trained to recognize warning signs and safely refer clients to get help. The Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence will conduct training sessions at Arizona’s 43 cosmetology schools and hair shows.

The Empire Education Group has adopted the CUT IT OUT Program nationwide to support this effort by educating its own students to recognize signs of domestic abuse and safely refer those clients to people and resources that can help them. The CUT IT OUT training sessions will be taught in each of Empires nine schools in Arizona by representatives from the Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Personally, I see it as a good thing that domestic violence has fallen by half, but it has been falling for the last 20-years. The most significant change from the improved training of police officers, as a result of the Violence Against Women Act, that has driven down the rates, is the major increase in the arrest of women for domestic violence. Check arrest reports, and especially talk to any female police officer, and you will find that almost 40% of DV arrests are women, with the majority by female officers. That, in and of itself, is significant, in that female officers make up only 13% of police forces. I hope they keep up the good work and that the Associations for Female Police Officers & Women in Law Enforcement will push to mandate female officers be at least on of the responding officers on all domestic disturbance calls.
Check any study on domestic violence, but look at the data charts instead of just reading the summary and you find that men are the victims in 39% of the cases.
The story is reprinted from the Washington Post. As for the rest, search under DV against men. I’ve worked with the male victims for 18 years.

A good study is Murder in Families by the US Justice Dept. What’s the most common factor found in women you batter men? They account for 55% of fatal child abuse, on their own childrem, compared to that committed by anyone. Fathers are 8%, stepmothers/girlfriends are 9% & stepfathers/boyfriends are 10%. Numbers don’t change when custody arrangements are taken into account.
To learn how men can be victims, rent the movie MEN DON’T TELL. Also, talk to any female police officer. The most common form of battery against men is with a frying pan while he is watching TV or sleeping. Wxamples of it are seen all the time in comedies and in comic strips.
Yes, I was a victim once, of a thrown pot of coffee, but my wife had developed Bipolar disease. I sent her away 2 years ago and treatment has helped her. The only reason I don’t bring her back now is that she is being sued for injuries she caused someone else, and if I bring her back, they can add my income to the lawsuit, taking everything I own. We have to wait until it is settled.
Of interest, I just took home a young woman from the KCKS jail. She was arrested on a DV involving 2 broken wine bottles. Neither had been drinking. The argument was over her being 2 hours late getting home from a movie with friends. She didn’t call to say she was running late. There is a baby and the arresting officer was female. I offered to help them get into counseling.

DV rates for women are not going down. You site rates for men? they are rising because a few of them are learning to speak up.

p.s. awfully white of you, all your research, and offers of "help". Keep trying, K? ’cause we need guys like you to misread the figures and then muck about trying to help.

Is domestic violece common in your neighborhood, Do you know? Should you be a concerned neighbor?? What would you do if you knew about somone being abused?

i’m against it , i think both party’s should be in jail , man and woman both ,because it takes 2 to argue

When members here have mentioned the possibility of Tiger Woods being abused by his lovely wife with a golf club, the general reply from feminists has been to the effect of:

"lets wait and see what the outcome is – I don’t really believe this…"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1239225/Tiger-Woodss-wife-Elin-battered-iron-caught-texting-mistress.html

But, how many times have those same feminists claimed that women don’t report men who abuse them and so it must be so much more than the stats reveal.

It seems to me, feminists hold a double standard (yes, yet another).
Summer – feminists insist they do not hate men (while their actions suggest otherwise).. Nazi’s were honest about their hatred.

I’ll go you one better:

If the circumstances were identical save for the sexes of the parties involved, feminists would have insisted that abuse had taken place and that this showed how victims of abuse were intimidated not to press charges. The "wait and see" attitude would have been labeled "enabling" if not outright condoning abuse.

And another thing: if it were revealed that Rhianna or some other female victim of domestic violence had been unfaithful and that this had somehow motivated the attack, feminists would have screamed from the rooftops about "blaming the victim" whenever the media covered the cheating.

The double standards keep adding up.

It is certainly true that domestic violence against women does put more people into the ER or the morgue than domestic violence against men. But that in no way justifies the complete double standard in the way the cases are treated.

One reason I don’t call myself "feminist". That means I don’t consider women human or I don’t think I should be able to vote? PUH-LEEZE!
