In this article, the authors present a data collection system to provide information about assault-related injuries within Newark, New Jersey. In 2001, Emergency Department (ED) staff at the six hospitals providing emergency medical care within the city collected data on all assault-related ED visits. Individual-level (n = 1,204) and neighborhood-level (n = 262) analyses were conducted; the latter used data from the 2000 U.S. Census. A hotspots map was also generated. At the individual level, one in three ED patients was assaulted by an intimate partner or other family member. In addition, African American males were disproportionately likely to be treated for assault-related injuries. At the socio-structural level, as hypothesized based on Social Disorganization Theory, hierarchical regression analyses reveal that poorer neighborhoods with more vacant housing units have significantly higher rates of assault-related injuries.
在本文中，作者介绍了一个数据收集系统，以提供有关新泽西州纽瓦克市与袭击相关伤害的信息。2001年，该市提供紧急医疗服务的六家医院的急诊科工作人员收集了所有与袭击相关的急诊就诊数据。进行了个体层面（n = 1204）和社区层面（n = 262）的分析；后者使用了2000年美国人口普查的数据。还生成了热点地图。在个体层面，三分之一的急诊患者是被亲密伴侣或其他家庭成员袭击的。此外，非裔美国男性因与袭击相关伤害接受治疗的可能性不成比例地高。在社会结构层面，正如基于社会失序理论所假设的那样，分层回归分析表明，住房空置率较高的贫困社区与袭击相关伤害的发生率显著更高。
