Mandatory reporting

[grum]

It's a conversation that got kind-of started at someone else's LJ, but it was at best tangentially related. So I figured I'd start it here.

What do people think of mandatory reporting laws? Of the intent behind their creation? Of their implementation?

It's good to see those statistics. But I suspect that the men are still being undercounted.

I suspect you're right, and probably by a higher percentage than is true for women and children. Perhaps a significantly higher percentage.
