N2  - The authors "present quantitative and qualitative findings from 190 interviews with 95 couples  in which men and women reported separately upon their own violence and upon that of their partner. Men’s and women’s violence are compared. The findings suggest that intimate partner violence is primarily an asymmetrical problem of men’s violence to women, and women’s violence does not equate to men’s in terms of frequency, severity, consequences and the victim’s sense of safety and well-being. But why bother about the apparent contradictions in findings of research? For those making and implementing policies and expending public and private resources, the apparent contradiction about the very nature of this problem has real consequences for what might be done for those who are its victims and those who are its perpetrators."
