To report the distributions and characteristics of spouse abuse victims and offenders in the U.S. Army Central Registry from 1989 to 1997.
Case and population data were tabulated using SAS procedures.
There were 61,827 initial substantiated cases, 5,772 subsequent incidents, and 3,921 reopened cases. Victim rates varied between 8 and 10.5 per 1,000 married persons. About 82% of victims and offenders were between the ages of 18 and 31 years. The racial distribution of married active duty white and black victims and offenders was greatly different from that of the married active duty population. The proportion of female victims increased from initial (67%) to subsequent (71%) to reopened cases (75%).
U.S. military populations provide unique opportunities to study family violence because of the socioeconomic "floor" under service members and their families. Comparisons between military and civil populations on precipitating circumstances, case assessment and definition, and treatment efficacy would be fruitful areas for research.
报告1989年至1997年美国陆军中央登记处配偶虐待受害者和施暴者的分布情况及特征。
使用SAS程序将病例和人口数据制成表格。
有61827起初步证实的案件、5772起后续事件以及3921起重开案件。受害者发生率在每1000名已婚人员中为8至10.5人。约82%的受害者和施暴者年龄在18至31岁之间。现役已婚白人和黑人受害者及施暴者的种族分布与现役已婚人口的种族分布有很大差异。女性受害者的比例从最初的案件（67%）增加到后续案件（71%），再到重开案件（75%）。
由于军人及其家庭有社会经济“底线”，美国军人群体为研究家庭暴力提供了独特机会。在引发情况、病例评估与定义以及治疗效果方面对军人与平民群体进行比较将是富有成效的研究领域。
