For the last 30 years in America, reports of abuse have been respected by the police and they do get involved when notified.

That depends on where you live, many places were very slow to get with that program. In my area it is still not adressed as seriously as it is in most places.

Agreed.

Personally, I would never notify the police...

I was taught to deal with the situation as a man, and confront the abuser on a personal level.
