Yes that's what I thought, it comes back to the 1990s studies. I'm a dv outreach worker, there's not much research in PPDA.
1st source - talking about studies from the 90s that are now horribly out of date (eg don't take into account changes in recruitment) and have massive methodological flaws (eg not considering the context of coercive control). 2nd link- isn't a study, it's an essay, and it says itself it's anywhere between 4.8 to 40%
I'm not disputing there's likely more in police. I'd also expect there to be more in other jobs with power, control and access to vulnerable people including medicine, security guards, teaching etc.
I fear it is both under reported and under prosecuted in addition to being under researched, can't imagine why that would be... it's the same with any power structures, be it police, priest, or politician. Victims are silenced to preserve the power.
Agree
You think it's improved?
More women, increased reporting etc change rates
Well, more women I'll buy. Good thing we can't be assholes, and marginalized people trying to join an insular privileged in-group are never pressured to be physical avatars of all that group's vices.
