On the Victoria Derbyshire Show this morning, on BBC2, Derbyshire covered the issue of increased sentencing terms for perpetrators of domestic abuse. Needless to say she interviewed only women, all victims were assumed to be female, all perpetrators male. Standard BBC presentation, then, though it’s long been known that in couples where the violence is one-way, the perpetrator is twice as likely to be a woman as a man, and the highest rates of domestic violence are found in lesbian couples.
