Washington DV Press

Denise Hines of  Clark University in Worcester, MA, is a PHD.  She is the Research Assistant Professor of the   Department of Psychology, and is the Director of their  Family Impact Seminars, as well as being the Co-Director of the  Clark Anti-Violence Education (CAVE) Program. She will most likely be attacked from publishing such truth. But, that truth is becoming well known. And that truth shows that  70% of battered men were themselves falsely accused of DV, or threatened with a false accusation of DV, by their batterer.

WADVPress applauds those who publish the truth and those who have the fortitude to publish it.  This is science as it should be, and not an agenda.

This other upcoming study was published this month in the journal Partner Abuse.  They will soon have another article about to be released in a month or two in the Journal of Aggression, Conflict, and Peace Research, and will share that when it is released.  A draft of that article, along with recent conference presentations and media mentions can be found on their webpage: at  http://www.clarku.edu/faculty/dhines/results.htm .

In the meantime, we’d like to ask for your ideas.  Emily and I are preparing a study on men’s experiences with both the criminal justice and family court system when they try to assert the fact that their female partners commit domestic violence.  We’d like to hear from people who have either experienced this in their own profession or in their own lives, and others who have anectodal and other information on this topic, because we want to make sure that we develop as comprehensive a study as possible.  What types of questions should we ask?  What experiences should we be looking for?  We have lots of ideas, but want to make sure that we’re not leaving anything out.  Thanks in advance for any information you are willing and able to provide.
