****About 160 Scottish girls took part in the study out of 2000
nationwide. The figures show that 19% had been hit by their
boyfriends, 3% higher than the British average. About 43% also said
they in turn reacted with violence to their partners. ****


Ah, there's the rub.

The boyfriends might have a different story on whether there was any
violence at all and if there WAS violence, they might have a different
story on who struck the first blow.

As usual, we're only hearing one side of the story.

"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their
disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as
their love of justice is above their rapacity; in proportion as their
soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and
presumption; in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the
counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. 
Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be
placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must
be without.  It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men
of intemperate minds cannot be free.  Their passions forge their
fetters."
