We examined the association between neighborhood-level factors and intimate partner femicide (IPF) using Wisconsin Violent Death Reporting System (WVDRS) data and Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WCADV) reports, in concert with neighborhood-level information. After controlling for individual characteristics, neighborhood-level disadvantage was associated with a decreased likelihood of IPF status, as compared with other femicides, whereas neighborhood-level residential instability was associated with an increased likelihood of IPF status. Neighborhood plays a role in differentiating IPFs from other femicides in our study area. Our findings demonstrate the importance of multilevel strategies for understanding and reducing the burden of intimate partner violence.
我们利用威斯康星州暴力死亡报告系统（WVDRS）的数据、威斯康星州反对家庭暴力联盟（WCADV）的报告以及社区层面的信息，研究了社区层面因素与亲密伴侣杀妻案（IPF）之间的关联。在控制了个体特征之后，与其他杀人案件相比，社区层面的劣势与IPF状态的可能性降低有关，而社区层面的居住不稳定与IPF状态的可能性增加有关。在我们的研究区域，社区在区分IPF和其他杀人案件方面发挥了作用。我们的研究结果表明了多层次策略对于理解和减轻亲密伴侣暴力负担的重要性。
