I'd be interested to know whether at this point in history, if a man went to prison for beating a woman, whether he would be deemed as needing protection from other inmates in the way he would have been a few decades ago. I am sceptical.
Bit of a post dredge, but I'd be surprised if there were very many custodial sentences for domestic violence. Also I'd put money on any of these "code of honour" rules being totally subject to the internal politics and power dynamics within a group.

Interestingly it wasn't a paedophile specific term when it was first used. Men who were violent towards women or children and also murderers where it was perceived that the victim "didn't deserve it" were also N.O.N.C.E. I.e if other inmates didn't think that your crime was "honourable".
