Although empirical research has accumulated over the past 20 years regarding African Americans and domestic violence, many questions remain about African American perceptions of domestic violence. This article explores African American women's perceptions about domestic violence through three focus groups held at a New York social services agency. The findings point to the need to better understand diverse perceptions of domestic violence, to find culturally competent methods of addressing the inaccessibility of domestic violence services, to increase culturally appropriate public education, and to conduct more research on the connection between domestic violence and child welfare in communities of color.
尽管在过去20年里已经积累了关于非裔美国人和家庭暴力的实证研究，但关于非裔美国人对家庭暴力的看法仍存在许多问题。本文通过在纽约一家社会服务机构举行的三个焦点小组，探讨了非裔美国女性对家庭暴力的看法。研究结果表明，有必要更好地理解对家庭暴力的不同看法，找到在文化上合适的方法来解决家庭暴力服务难以获得的问题，加强在文化上合适的公众教育，并针对有色人种社区中家庭暴力与儿童福利之间的联系开展更多研究。
