U Conn Student Paper Covers DV to Include Men

Via Marc A.: "Some of the blunders in this article are humorous. They actually take a quote from me and say Dr. Witaker of the Centers for Disease Control is the speaker. They also quote me as saying the "the National Family of Violence industry," of which there is no such thing and it is a mixup of my comment about the "domestic violence industry” with my comment about the "National Family Violence Survey." But I'm still very thankful to this reporter for doing a fine job and having more guts than most journalists. Marc"

Article here. Excerpt:

'The term "domestic violence" is generally linked with violence against women in today's society. But what isn't usually thought of is the fact that men are victims of violence in relationships as well.

A recent study by Daniel J. Whitaker, Ph.D., Tadesse Haileyesus, M.S., Monica Swahn, Ph.D. and Linda S. Saltzman, Ph.D. of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, showed that men and women can be violent in a relationship and that injury occurred more often than not when the violence was reciprocal.'
