I was a Police Officer for nine years and quite frankly some of these comments are getting right up my nose. Unequivocally I can say that hidden abuse was the worst thing I ever had to deal with but it sure as hell wasn't peculiar to any one ethnic or socio-economic group. It seems to me that some people are here are taking a rather lofty view of their own culture, which is completely unjustified. I know from bitter experience that there is evil behind the most unlikely looking doors.
