When Violence Hits Home: How Economics and Neighborhood Play a Role

Author(s):
Michael L. Benson, Greer Litton Fox
Publisher(s):
National Institute of Justice (NIJ)
"Does intimate partner violence occur more in disadvantaged neighborhoods? For women, having financial problems in their intimate relationships and living in an economically distressed neighborhood combine to create greater risk of injury and violence. This NIJ Research in Brief (NCJ 205004) discusses who is most at risk and details the role that economic policies and employment practices might play in reducing the risk of intimate violence."
