Subject:men versus women as perpetrators of physical abuse and child murder
Dear Colleagues,
I have read that this is true:
* that although women commit more physical abuse in the U.S. than men, if we analyze according to time spent with children, men emerge as more likely to abuse children and
* that men are vastly more likely to kill children.
Can anyone kindly send me links or articles or references on this? You can feel free to PM me if you prefer.
Many thanks! LFontes@umass.edu
