Here's another cite:

Miller, Susan L.  (2001). The paradox of women arrested for domestic 
violence: Criminal justice professionals and service providers respond.  
Violence Against Women, 7 (12), pp. 1339-1376.

You might also want to consult the National Center for State Courts to 
see if they have any relevant research.  Some individual states and 
certain federal circuits have undertaken studies of gender bias in the 
courts, but I'm not sure if any of them looked at this specific question.
