    Men (especially young boys) are more likely to be victims of random violence.

    Women tend to receive violence from friends and family in the home.

    For whatever that’s worth

      You’re missing the context of WHEN THEY ARE the targets. Women are more often on the receiving end for both. Just because one gender gets one type of violence more often, still doesn’t mean they receive more instances of it over the other.
