We assessed weapon use in intimate partner violence and perspectives on hypothetical firearm policies.
We conducted structured in-person interviews with 417 women in 67 battered women's shelters.
Words, hands/fists, and feet were the most common weapons used against and by battered women. About one third of the battered women had a firearm in the home. In two thirds of these households, the intimate partner used the gun(s) against the woman, usually threatening to shoot/kill her (71.4%) or to shoot at her (5.1%). Most battered women thought spousal notification/consultation regarding gun purchase would be useful and that a personalized firearm ("smart gun") in the home would make things worse.
A wide range of objects are used as weapons against intimate partners. Firearms, especially handguns, are more common in the homes of battered women than in households in the general population.
我们评估了亲密伴侣暴力中武器的使用情况以及对假设的枪支政策的看法。
我们对67个受虐妇女庇护所中的417名妇女进行了结构化的面对面访谈。
言语、手/拳头和脚是施虐者用来对付受虐妇女以及受虐妇女用来自卫的最常见武器。约三分之一的受虐妇女家中有枪支。在其中三分之二的家庭中,亲密伴侣用枪对付该妇女,通常是威胁要开枪打死她(71.4%)或向她开枪(5.1%)。大多数受虐妇女认为购买枪支时配偶告知/协商会有用,且家中有一把个性化枪支(“智能枪”)会使情况更糟。
各种各样的物品被用作对付亲密伴侣的武器。枪支,尤其是手枪,在受虐妇女家庭中比在普通家庭中更为常见。
