Most of those statistics are total trash created by and for the domestic violence industry. It's just like the drug crime industry. Most of it is arresting people who shouldn't be. In many ways it's worse because innocent people are constantly arrested, and a man is assumed to be guilty until proven innocent in court. Either they are arrested on hearsay (if girl says it man will go to jail period), or they are arrested for something small that doesn't need police intervention (such as causing a scratch, or grabbing the spouse by their arm. Literally anything that causes any pain whatsoever is domestic violence.

Cops prefer arresting people who aren't real criminals because they are not going to put the cops life at risk.

When it comes to true real batterers, calling the police may actually lead to more death due to revenge killings. The real batterers are out of control and the wisest thing to do is just get away.

This site has some eye opening insight into the situation.
