The judge sees no need for more training on intimate partner violence against men

According to Mansfrid, around 400,000 men are exposed to some form of intimate partner violence each year. Psychological violence is the most common form for both women and men and can involve control, threats and violations. But there is also physical and economic violence. Despite that, few men report to the police.

Last year, a perpetrator was prosecuted in only eight percent of the reported cases of assault in a close relationship, where the man was the victim.

- I cannot answer why there are so few cases, says David Harrby, chief councillor.

According to Mansfrid, around 400,000 men are exposed to some type of violence annually, what do you think of that figure?

- Oh, that's a high number.

In the case of "Mattias", it was precisely David Harrby who was the judge and chairman of the court.
