However it is not just women that are affected by domestic abuse men are as well, 5% of men experience domestic abuse in a year (Home Office, 2011). In the British Crime Survey 2010/2011 it was reported that 30% of women experienced domestic abuse (BBC NEWS uk, 2012). There are many views surrounding domestic violence that suggest it is not a real policing matter, and therefore many people feel that they cannot report the abuse, such issues and police failings in domestic abuse cases, have created a long history of negative association surrounding the police and domestic abuse (walklate, 2007).

Based on the value placed on the evaluation of effective treatment programs, recidivism rates demonstrate the potential of rehabilitation of sex offenders and forecasting the danger they present to public safety. “Thus, how recidivism is measured has an important bearing on (1) correctional and administrative planning, (2) evaluating the effectiveness of sex offender treatment, and (3) the validity and reliability of actuarial instruments that predict risk of recidivism” (Langevin, Curnoe, Fedoroff, and Bennett, 2004).

Then I present the results of a research done by Cumberbatch, G. et al (1990) about television advertising and sex role stereotyping.
