We compared types and frequencies of intimate partner violence experienced by women before and after receipt of a 2-year protection order.
Participants were 150 urban English- and Spanish-speaking Black, Hispanic, and White women who qualified for a 2-year protection order against an intimate partner.
One woman committed suicide 6 weeks into the study. The remaining 149 women completed all interviews. Results showed significant reductions in threats of assault, physical assault, stalking, and worksite harassment over time among all women, regardless of receipt or nonreceipt of a protection order.
Abused women who apply and qualify for a 2-year protection order, irrespective of whether or not they are granted the order, report significantly lower levels of violence during the subsequent 18 months.
我们比较了女性在获得为期两年的保护令之前和之后所经历的亲密伴侣暴力的类型和频率。
参与者为150名居住在城市、会说英语和西班牙语的黑人、西班牙裔和白人女性，她们符合针对亲密伴侣的为期两年保护令的条件。
在研究进行到第6周时，有一名女性自杀。其余149名女性完成了所有访谈。结果显示，随着时间的推移，所有女性（无论是否获得保护令）遭受攻击威胁、身体攻击、跟踪和工作场所骚扰的情况均显著减少。
申请并符合为期两年保护令条件的受虐女性，无论是否获得该命令，在随后的18个月中报告的暴力水平均显著降低。
