Subject:RE: men versus women as perpetrators of physical abuse and child murder

Lisa, I do not have any research to share but would you be willing to share if/when you do receive some? Thank you, Suzanne Suzanne Greenberg | Executive Director Michigan Children’s Trust Fund | 235 S. Grand Avenue, Suite 1411, Lansing, MI 48909 Main: 517.241.0042| Direct: 517.335.1938 | Fax: 517.241.7038 GreenbergS@michigan.gov | michigan.gov/ctf From: bounce-124355832-84631794@list.cornell.edu On Behalf Of Lisa Fontes Sent: Friday, February 7, 2020 9:38 AM To: child-maltreatment-research-L 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!
