A reason why we do not see many women get reported is because the media does not encourage men to report the crime. Women are the ones who are encouraged to report the spousal violence by countless media reminders. The media always portray the woman to be the victim and the male to be the per

petrator. Men and children may not report when a woman injures them, but the dead bodies of the men and children who are the victims of violent women are usually reported.

Even though the statistics are shown here in this paper, people still will never believe that men get more abused than women. There probably will never be media coverage of such things, because the media has influenced the society so much in regard to women being the victim and the man being the abuser that people would not take a case seriously if the man was the victim. People would laugh or make fun of the individual and that would make other men scared to come forth. This problem must cease.
