Abstract
Abstract Violence, an enormous problem in U.S. society, affects men and women very differently. Overall, women are less likely than men to become victims of violent crime, but they are ten times more likely than men to be assaulted, raped, robbed, or murdered by a current or former intimate partner. Nearly 95% of all assaults against men are perpetrated by strangers (50%) or acquaintances (44%); only 5% of known assailants of males are current or former intimate partners (2%), or other relatives (3%). In contrast, women are nearly equally likely to report being assaulted by strangers (31%); acquaintances (35%); and either intimate partners (28%) or other relatives (5%).
