My translation of this article:

We throw mostly-males in jail, so let's focus on mostly-males in law enforcement and criminal prosecution.

Or more succinctly:

business as usual

Wow, this is a goldmine. Why is this not posted in /r/equality?

Prosecutors should be alert to gender bias in the response of local law enforcement agencies and re-screen cases if the percentage of female suspects accused of abusing male victims exceeds that commonly found across the nation.

If, upon reviewing domestic violence dockets, judges find much higher rates of female-on-male abuse cases than those typically found across the country as a whole, they should be alert to potential gender bias on the part of police and/or prosecutors and ensure that they are presented with sufficient evidence to confirm the correct designation of victims and their abusers.
