For All Those That Appear To Ignore Domestic Violence To Men

[youngmafbog]

I wonder if she will get a sentence similar to what a man would get for doing such an awful thing?

Who ignores domestic violence to men?

[anneasquith]

I would repeat the above question .

[youngmafbog]

If you have to ask that question then clearly you take little interest in the topic.

There is plenty of publicity for women, how much do you see for men?

[mushroom25]

she got seven and a half years.

[youngmafbog]

I would repeat my answer.

[Calicogirl]

Poor, poor man, I hope they treat her with the utmost severity, and no-one ignores male domestic abuse.

[youngmafbog]

7.5 years is not enough and we still have to see the appeals and what she actually serves.

[Rockrose]

Every year there is a campaign about domestic violence that covers both sexes!
The biggest negativity I have seen regarding male domestic violence is from other men who mention how much of a wimp and fellow other words is this man - to let a woman beat him!

//7.5 years is not enough //
What sentence do you think a man would get in similar circumstances?

[youngmafbog]

"The biggest negativity I have seen regarding male domestic violence is from other men who mention how much of a wimp and fellow other words is this man - to let a woman beat him!"

I have NEVER seen or heard that actually said. Quite the opposite actually. I wonder the company you keep.

[youngmafbog]

In my book this is attempted murder, it is excessive abusive violence.

Still, you seem happy with it.

[Mamyalynne]

There is more awareness now about this type of domestic violence, once more hidden through shame etc - I agree she should have got longer.

[Rockrose]

//Still, you seem happy with it//
Really and how did you come to that startling conclusion?

[Calicogirl]

I would have liked to see her get much longer, and it's true, the only stigma about male abuse comes from other males, women are almost universally supportive of the victim ( barring one atrocity of a woman I read about the other day). I would also like to see serious domestic abuse sentences increased generally across all genders though.

I can't agree that domestic violence against men is being ignored. There are several charities and the issue has attracted a lot of media attention during the past few years, for example Corrie did an excellent long running story line which brought it to the viewers attention and got coverage in the press.

Yes, it has lagged behind DV against women but the reality is that domestic violence against anyone was largely ignored until arond 40 years ago - the world's first refuge for women and their children was opened in the UK in 1971.

Even during the 80s it was very difficult for women to get their abusive boyfriends and husbands charged and prosecuted but thankfully things are improving, for victims of both sexes.

"In April 2018 Jordan Worth became the first female in the UK to be convicted of controlling or coercive behaviour"

Mental.

here's a man who got four years, last month

Looks like the woman's been much more heavily sentenced, then...

[Barmaid]

Worth got 2 x 7 years for GBH with intent to run concurrently. She only got 6 months for the controlling and coercive behaviour charge to run consecutively.

I havent been able to find any figures on how many women have been sentenced under the reasonably new coercive behaviour law (came in Dec 2015) but there have only been 235 successful prosecutions in total.

She is a thoroughly nasty piece of work and I hope he makes a full recovery from the physical, mental and emotional abuse he has suffered.
