You said that the policy is gender neutral, "While recognizing in most cases of spousal violence the man is the perpetrator. The policy seeks to ensure that full investigation and prosecution of spousal violence...It also seek to improve protection and assistance to victims..." When you refer to that is it because in all cases the perpetrator is always a man? Or is it because only charges are laid against men as opposed to women? Violence is caused against men also. It is reported and no charges are ever laid.
