I will help you out with #2. I'd just need to know the journals and article titles.

Thanks.  The DVStats.com site has it all there for you.  Whenever you see a button that says "Read it," that leads to a study.  To the left of that "Read it" button many studies have a little icon with a dollar sign.  Those are the ones we need to have downloaded.  All the information you need is shown in the listings.  To see a complete list of 100 percent of the studies in the database, do a search at DVstats.com without entering any search criteria.  This will cause all the studies to be listed, so you'll have the fullest picture of all the data you need.

When you have the data available, simply notify me through the Contact Us form on the site and we'll go from there.  This applies to anyone else who also wants to help in the same way.

Thanks again for your interest.  I'm sure it's going to make a huge difference.

I'm very happy to hear the positive feedback.  It lets me know that I'm being effective.

However, I would like to ask for assistance from anyone who has the means.  The studies that are linked to go off to other Web sites that consolidate journals, and then charge people for access to the study if they're not members of a higher educational institution.  Typically this runs the individual consumer about $30-40 per study.  To me, that seems a lot to ask for people who are merely interested in reading more in depth.  So I am trying to gather the actual PDF files and link to them, instead of linking to a Web site that charges people money.

In order to gather as many of these studies as possible, there are two ways to do it:

1.  Raise the money to pay for each study, then save it on the server for others to use.
2.  Many universities grant full access to their students to utilize a membership that the university has with these online journal aggregators.  In other words, by virtue of the fact that they're students, they get free access to these studies through their university library.  Usually they have to enter their username/password issued to them by the university, in order to download the studies.  I would like it if some MRAs who are in college could use their access to such services so that the studies that now require payment can be downloaded as PDFs, forwarded to DVstats.com, and then posted for the world to see.

Are there any college members who would be willing to try option #2?  In the alternative, are there any people who know wealthy individuals sympathetic to our cause who would be willing to pay to have these studies downloaded?  Surely we must have some connections in the business or political world who could help.

I think it would be even more powerful if people not only read the abstracts and the list of studies, but could get instant access to see the studies for themselves (without having to pony up any money, or jump through several hoops in order to locate the studies at the link destination as is now the case).

So, there are still improvements to be made to the site.  If anyone can help, it would surely be appreciated.  You see how powerful this data is now; imagine how powerful it would be then, having implemented the above suggestions.

Anyone interested in helping me?

Hey, people.  I was the one who created this Web site.  That brings to 2 the number of sites I've created as an MRA so far:

1.  DontMakeHerMad.com
Promotes the use of covert surveillance to thwart false allegations of domestic abuse

2.  DVstats.com
Lists almost 200 studies of domestic violence against men, and makes them searchable and filterable.  The research was collected by independent scholars and academic professionals over 4 decades, most was published in peer-reviewed academic journals and government reports, with a total sample size exceeding 220,000.  Each search lists the sample size of the documents shown in that specific search, as well as providing a comparison of domestic violence by gender based on the search results.

The above sites were done during 2006.  I'm planning to do one more Web site in 2007. This will be to document misandry in popular culture.  Then I'll take a rest for a while and just cultivate these sites, as well as support other MRAs in their activism.

Men and Domestic Violence / Using surveillance to thwart false allegations

Jul 07, 2006, 10:06 AM

There's a new Web site that teaches men how to use hidden and miniature recording devices (both audio and video) and transmitters to prove that it is their female partner who is the true aggressor in the relationship.  It's called DontMakeHerMad.com.

Check it out!

Men and Domestic Violence / Using surveillance to thwart false allegations

Jul 07, 2006, 10:01 AM

There is a new Web site specifically made for men who fear they may be falsely accused of domestic violence.  It advocates the use of surveillance and provides a wealth of information on how men can use miniature and hidden recording devices to prove that their partner is the true aggressor in the relationship.
