RE: reported domestic violence cases

And here is a factor biasing your data. How many men will report a case vs women reporting cases?

Well, it sounds like women will get welcoming treatment at domestic violence agencies, and careful consideration by the courts and police.

Men, however, who might walk into a domestic violence agency office can expect that they will viewed with suspicion, and the workers that talk to them will assume that "there must be more to the story."

So, in answer to your question, my guess is that very few men will report domestic violence incidents.
