Quoting a YouTube comment: "Excellent presentation by Dr. Nicholls, not just for the depth and breadth of research but for the calm, clear and concise delivery."
She nailed it
Hit 1: Men and women are perpetrators and victims of IPV at similar rates
Women are perpetrators of IPV at rates comparable to men
Reciprocal abuse is the most common form of IPV
Men and women hit first at equal rates
Hit 2: Women perpetrate serious violence
Women commit higher rates of 'clinical level' (severe) assaults
Large numbers of non-abusive men are severely assaulted
Hit 3: Both men and women suffer as a result of IPV
Physical, psychological & financial injuries from women's violence are neither infrequent nor inconsequential
Women also cause injuries
Male perpetrators generate more injuries
Hit 4: The causes of IPV are varied but similar across the sexes
Women's motivations are similar to men's
Self-defense is a relatively uncommon motive
