Examining Symmetry in Intimate Partner Violence Among Young Adults Using Socio-Demographic Characteristics (2010, background): “Studies that include sexual abuse/violence and stalking show higher rates of violence perpetrated by men (Saunders 2002); however, it is also possible that women are more apt to report being victimized while men are less likely to report victimization due to social desirability.”

Gender symmetry in partner violence: Evidence and implications for prevention and treatment. (2009, background): “Official crime data also suggest that women are more likely to be stalked by their partners and that men are much more likely than women to be perpetrators of parent-child homicide-suicide, that is, cases in which the perpetrator kills himself and family members (Felson, 2002; Saunders, 2002; Statis”
