Nomilynn - I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. I do not believe that all policemen are wife-beaters. Or that someone reverts to wife-beating simply by virtue of their profession. I'm saying that it's a profession that is known for having a statistically high number of domestic abuse issues (and that this is because of a number of variables). Now, statistics will never be 100% (as my husband, a statistician) but they are something to go on and reliable to a degree.
