Well said, Selchie. It's taken the last 20 years of encouragement and support to get women to come forward and realise that they dont need to put up with domestic violence. I expect the actual incidents of violence is reducing as more people fear the consequences (except in CHAV land of course) as the rate of reported incidences increase. As the saying goes - 'Theres lies, damn lies, and statistics'.

Funny how theres no real mention of violence against men though, what's causing the upswing in that?!
