@hawkeye10,
You're picking a statement completely out of context - so clearly your modus operandi all the while so wrong.
Look, first of all, they used an age group of 18 - 28 year olds, and out of that
24 % had a violent relationship - whereas violent is not defined at all here -
not really a scientific study, but let's continue: they stipulate that half (49.7%) of those 24 % (which is 12 %) were reciprocally violent, which means the other half (12 %) was in a non reciprocally violent relationship - whatever that means.
Out of those 12 % they claim that women were the perpetrators in 70 % of the
cases, which would mean roughly 8 %.
It further says that regarding injury,
men were more likely to inflict injury than were women and
reciprocal intimate partner violence was associated with greater injury than was nonreciprocal intimate partner violence which leads me to believe that nonreciprocal intimate partner violence is not necessarily associated with bodily harm. That explains why the majority of women are perpetrators of non reciprocal violent relationships - they include verbal altercations as violence.
Now there is your link thoroughly explained, hawkeye. Instead of picking
a nonsense phrase from an entire article, I laid it all out for you.
