Why are men with abused wives good cases for a tax compliance study?

There may be a variety of reasons for a man to abuse his wife (please ask men for this!!!). One of them could be the aggressive nature of men. By abusing their wives who are the most intimate and perhaps the most loyal people to them, men may fulfil their eagerness of power and control without being punished (if their wives keep silent).  Their aggressiveness can also be penetrated into their attitudes towards the government in general or towards the legal system and tax enforcement in particular. Therefore, men who abuse their wives are highly likely the ones who circumvent their tax liabilities and refuse to pay back tax owned and penalties if get caught. Thus, they are good cases to study the factors affecting taxpayers’ compliance behaviour.
