I doubt you’re to find good statistics on domestic abuse in the 1950s.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were only slightly higher than modern ones. Humans historically become less violent but it's very gradual.

The 1950s isn’t pre-modern.

Perhaps contemporary would be a better word. I'm not a native speaker.

Exactly! So we shouldn't draw any conclusions based on such statistics.
