This study is one of the first to examine the protective order process, barriers, and outcomes by combining qualitative and quantitative research in rural and urban areas. State statutes suggest the protective order process should be fair, consistent, and accessible to all women in the state. However, study results suggest that (a) the process of obtaining protective orders varies depending on community context; (b) although there are barriers to obtaining and enforcing protective orders regardless of geographic region, rural women appear to have more barriers; and (c) differences exist in victimization experiences, protective order stipulations, violations, and perceived effectiveness among rural and urban women.
本研究是首批通过结合农村和城市地区的定性与定量研究来考察保护令程序、障碍及结果的研究之一。州法规表明，保护令程序应公平、一致且该州所有女性均可使用。然而，研究结果表明：（a）获得保护令的程序因社区背景而异；（b）尽管无论地理区域如何，获得和执行保护令都存在障碍，但农村女性似乎面临更多障碍；（c）农村和城市女性在受害经历、保护令规定、违规行为及感知有效性方面存在差异。
