By the most conservative estimate, each year one million women suffer nonfatal violence by an intimate.

Nearly one in three adult women experience at least one physical assault by a partner during adulthood.

In 1993, approximately 575,000 men were arrested for committing violence against women. Approximately 49,000 women were arrested for committing violence against men.

Women ages 19–29 reported more violence by intimates than any other age group.

During the six months following an episode of domestic violence, 32 percent of battered women are victimized again.

Forty-seven percent of men who beat their wives do so at least three times per year.

In homes where partner abuse occurs, children are 1,500 times more likely to be abused.

Forty to sixty percent of men who abuse women also abuse children.

Violence against women occurs in 20 percent of dating couples.

Twenty-six percent of pregnant teens reported being physically abused by their boyfriends. About half said the battering began or intensified after he learned of her pregnancy.

Only about one-seventh of all domestic assaults come to the attention of the police.
