He and coworkers found that 325 of the couples — 15 percent — reported at least one violent incident between them during the survey year. Most of the violence consisted of acts such as pushing, shoving, slapping and throwing things. More severe violence — including kicking, biting punching, hitting with an object and attacking a spouse with a weapon — wasfar less common Straus said the survey foundthat violence seeins to be one of the few aspects of marriage which approach equality between spouses. The study showed that 12.1 percent of the husbands surveyed and11.6 percent of the wives wereviolent at least oncein the year. “There is an irony in this because, except for the rare instances when a desperate or enraged woman seizes a knife or gun andis effective in using it, the effects of the violence are far from equal WE GINE (J crocery WE Be Western Family Suey Spaghetti2?

Veg. & Flower Sociologist Releases Study On Violence in U.S. Homes SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — A survey of violence in the American home indicates that the marriage license has become a ‘‘hitting license”’ to manycouples. a University of New Hampshire sociologist said. “Outside the family, the cultural norm which makes hitting a woman moretaboo thanhitting a man prevails," said Dr. Murray A. Straus. ‘But not so inside the family. Men who would not dream of hitting a woman,hit their wives." But he said in a report prepared for the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that just as a driving license has speed limits, the marriagelicense also has a limit on violence. “Generally speaking the national speed limit on marital violence is thatit must notbe severe enough to cause an injury requiring medical treatment,’’ Straus said.
