than we thought. Military and sports health never wanted to look at it seriously and victims of violence got stuck behind them.

I have no problem believing women get the very short end of the stick and suffer worse trauma with often fewer resources.

But so often we hear about jail terms, as if more jail will solve the problems. It's part of the solution, but somewhere we have to look at a way to get these guys to stop beating up their wives and girlfriends. And that maniac who went after a woman he didn't know with a baseball bat the other day needs treatment, before even thinking about criminality. Lock him up for the safety of the community, but in something besides jail.
