The more important part of this study is the inconsistency in the numbers. Notice that the ratio of men to women admitting to abusing their partners is not even remotely similar to the ratio of women to men claiming to be abused. That shows that men are less likely to admit to both abusing and being abused. But that's not exactly a shocking or unprecedented discovery. The story of K is more interesting to me, because it actually shines a light on the problem of court discrimination. Removing institutional bias might effect social change, but the question of how to do so is difficult.
In some cases it might help to keep the identities and genders of the involved parties anonymous, but in more that would be impossible. Courts could be held accountable for bias, but each jury is different, so the effect would be small.
