In the popular thought, woman have always been treated as victims of domestic violence,; but male victims have always been ignored by public. Therefore, this study aims to know the; reason why most male victims refuse to report domestic violence to public and discover what; kinds of support they hope from police and professionals. This study used quantitative; research through a questionnaire to collect data from male victims. The questionnaire was; sent to heterosexual male victims who are in a romantic relationship with partners of; domestic violence by e-mail. After one week, the participants sent the questionnaire with; their answers back to researcher. The study analyzed their frequency of being abused, the data; about reasons why they do not report, and the data about the support they hope. This research; discovered that male victims received more financial and psychological abuse from their; spouses. However, male victims do not want to report the domestic violence they received; due to the shameful feeling, the love towards wives and children, and the distrust towards; police. Also, male victims hope for more direct support such as interceding in conflict and; protect their children. Moreover, male victims hope the support from law enforcement and; health care professionals includes a respect for their privacy. |
