Kentucky is one of only six states with laws mandating that intimate partner violence be reported to authorities. The purpose of this project was to understand the attitudes of women clinic patients in Kentucky regarding mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence and how these attitudes may differ by abuse status.
Women presenting to an internal medicine clinic in the summer of 2003 were asked to complete an anonymous 30-item questionnaire, including personal history of abuse and their opinions about mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence to the police.
Surveys were completed by 238 women, of which 29% reported a history of intimate partner violence. Of abused women, 49% supported mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence to the police, compared to 61% of women without an abuse history (p = 0.05)
Women with a history of abuse are more ambivalent about mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence to the police than women without a history of abuse.
肯塔基州是仅有的六个有法律规定必须向当局报告亲密伴侣暴力行为的州之一。本项目的目的是了解肯塔基州女性门诊患者对亲密伴侣暴力行为强制报告的态度,以及这些态度如何因受虐状况而有所不同。
要求2003年夏天到内科门诊就诊的女性填写一份30项的匿名问卷,包括个人受虐史以及她们对向警方强制报告亲密伴侣暴力行为的看法。
238名女性完成了调查,其中29%报告有亲密伴侣暴力史。在受虐女性中,49%支持向警方强制报告亲密伴侣暴力行为,而无受虐史的女性这一比例为61%(p = 0.05)。
有受虐史的女性比无受虐史的女性对向警方强制报告亲密伴侣暴力行为更为矛盾。
