Usually men do not talk about it, said Dr. Robert J. Reid of the University of Washington. The study included 420 men. Men asked how often they need to hear the risks to their health, and also suffer from violence. It is a really serious threat and violence, not emotionally little arguments, explained Reid. It was found that among the male respondents who are in the age group 18-54 years, 14.2% said it in the hands of the partners for a period of five years and 6.1% of reported cases of domestic violence were abused in the previous year. In total, 30.5% said the men under 55, and 26.5% of older men who experience domestic violence in certain periods of family life. Had almost half of men's violence were physically. According to researchers, this study is not to facilitate in any way to the problem of violence against women in the family, but the results of the experiment show that a victim of domestic violence may be a man.
