And you base this opinion on what level of involvement with domestic violence?Quoting dvcaselaw
Are there false accusations? Sure. However, there are many, many more that are NOT reported out of fear of the abuser or fear of the consequences of the abuser's arrest.
There are volumes of REAL data out there on the impact of domestic violence. I suggest you avail yourself of the true data and not rely solely on harrowing anecdotal accounts on the internet or the occasional media story from allegedly victimized men.
If that were truly the case, then we would get more cases to trial. In my state - and my county in particular - very few even get filed, and almost none go to trial (they tend to plead out). Since the victim - and often the only witness - recants within 48 hours in more than 75% of cases (usually closer to 85% by trial), DV cases can be very difficult to prove without independent witnesses or serious injury. Even then there can be serious problems.For men who do commit acts of DV, yes, there probably is a small case they could be let off, but it seems that the system as it is now favors women.
