The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge project is the largest meta-analysis of domestic violence research ever undertaken. It is not focused on gender but rather analyses many variables. When it looks at gender it finds near gender parity in intimate partner violence (IPV) and also finds a high rate of reciprocal IPV, which it refers to as bi-directional.

PASK covers about 1700 peer-reviewed studies from around the world. Most studies, however, come from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

Meta-analyses like PASK offer compelling results and a way to minimise the biases of individual researchers so we can get to the truth of the matter. In the case of PASK we see the truth of domestic and intimate partner violence.

Reciprocal Partner Violence

Reciprocal partner violence (RPV) also known as bi-directional partner violence

By Classification

The table below lists classifiations used in PASK as well as male-perpetrated and female-perpetrated IPV. These are listed as MFPV & FMPV respectively in the PASK Domestic Violence Facts and Statistics at a Glance.[1][2]

PASK Classification Partner Violence (percentage)
Reciprocal Male Perpetrated Female Perpetrated
Among large population samples 57.9 13.8 28.3
Among school and college samples 51.9 16.2 31.9
Among respondents reporting IPV in legal or female-oriented clinical/treatment seeking samples not associated with the military 72.3 13.3 14.4
Within military and male treatment samples 39 43.4 17.3

By Race

Type of Race Reciprocal Partner Violence (percentage)
White 50.9
