From the Paper:

"There is some argument as to whether male and female domestic violence are similar or equal. In many cases, when it comes to domestic violence, men argue that they are the ones punished when the woman is actually the violent one or there is mutual violence (James, 2002). The controversy comes not only from men who claim to be victims of women's violence, but from the conflicting outcomes of research studies, some of which suggest equal rates of physical abuse by men and women, and others showing greater violence by men. In addition, comparison of studies is complex due to various definitions of violence, methodologies and samples (Malloy, et. al.2003)."
