In response to the notion that men would be too ashamed or humiliated to call the police or go to the hospital if they were beaten by their wives, available empirical evidence suggests a very different picture: Men who are assaulted by intimates are actually more likely to call the police, more likely to press charges, and less likely to drop them (Ferrante, Morgan, Indermaur, & Harding, 1996; Rouse, Breen, & Howell, 1988; Schwartz, 1987). This makes sense in the terms outlined previously, as women would be more likely to forgive being hit and normalize it with statements about how he really does love her.

The study doesn't back those numbers up at all. It just rattles off some names and says "woOoO emperical evidence."

The first study (rouse, breen, & howell 1988) is an Australian study

I'm assuming the bit they're citing is this:

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (1996) Women’s Safety Australia survey found similar results...19% of women who were physically assaulted in the previous 12-month period contacted the police

What it doesn't say is that this study entirely neglects men and takes specific aim and indigenous Australian women, and so there's no comparison of the same sample.

The second example cited (rouse, breen, and howell, 1988) is behind a paywall, but even so the abstract clearly states it's a study of 130 single college students and 130 marriage college students. Further, the abstract implies that the rates were similar. relevant section:

Males were as likely as females to report the partner engaging in these behaviors, and this applied to both the married and dating students. About 11% of both married and dating students reported consequences such as requiring medical attention or calling the police, which suggest more severe physical abuse.

I'd like to further scrutinize, because I'm sure the statistical significance of the disparity in such a small sample size is debatable at best and non-existent at worst.

The final study (Schwartz, 1987) is also behind a paywall, but it was a using data from a previous study. They only used data from previously reported assaults to choose their sample, no random sample. According the the abstract Schwartz's determination was not that men were more likely to report, it was that they were more likely to report if injured.

tl;dr: Who the hell peer reviewed this?
