Depuis quelques années, certains travaux dus notamment à des féministes ont également attiré l'attention sur la violence des hommes envers les femmes. Cette forme de violence a fréquemment pour cadre l'espace «privé» du foyer, et la police et les autres instances de répression répugnent à qualifier de «criminelle» cette forme de violence, ou à intervenir dans ces «affaires de famille». 3, record 3, French, - violence%20des%20hommes%20envers%20les%20femmes
