Document Summary
Factors associated with perpetration and victimization (riggs, caulfield, & street, 2000) Violence by women occurs less frequently and results in less serious injuries. Researchers study domestic violence using two strategies: examine spousal aggression, examine correlates and consequences of violence. Men who engaged in violence before marriage were more likely to engage in violence within the marriage. Violence by the wife increased the likelihood of the husband being violent. Lower socioeconomic status increased chances of being violent. Non-caucasian men were more likely to be violent. Abusers were generally more angry, less assertive, and responded to marital conflict with aggression. General symptom measures: violent men generally have more psychological problems.
