Hi all,

This quote from the New York Times appears in the article, “The Myth of Male Decline” by Stephanie Coontz on September 29, 2012.

 

“Domestic violence rates have been halved since 1993, while rapes and sexual assaults against women have fallen by 70 percent in that time.”

 

Here is the link to the article:

Any idea where she might have gotten this statistic?
