This paper focuses on the importance of family member closeness as a protective factor against domestic abuse. We explore the link between long-lasting relations within the family and intra-familial violence perpetrated against women in Latino households in South Florida. We use data from an Inter-generational Transmission of Drug Use between Latina Mothers and Daughters (ITDMD) study. The study includes data on family relations and domestic abuse. We estimate a series of multivariate regressions to obtain the probability of abuse against women, the types of abuse inflicted and the relationship with the abusers. Our results indicate that among abused women, the effects of long-lasting relations within the family differ depending on the type of relationship between the abuser and the victim and the degree of closeness the victim feels towards other family members. Given these findings, there is a need to further study family relations and abuse in Latino households.
本文聚焦于家庭成员亲密关系作为防止家庭暴力的保护因素的重要性。我们探究了南佛罗里达州拉丁裔家庭中家庭内部持久关系与针对女性的家庭暴力之间的联系。我们使用了一项关于拉丁裔母亲与女儿之间药物使用的代际传播（ITDMD）研究的数据。该研究包括家庭关系和家庭暴力的数据。我们估计了一系列多元回归，以获得针对女性的虐待概率、所遭受的虐待类型以及与施虐者的关系。我们的结果表明，在受虐女性中，家庭内部持久关系的影响因施虐者与受害者之间的关系类型以及受害者对其他家庭成员的亲密程度而异。鉴于这些发现，有必要进一步研究拉丁裔家庭中的家庭关系和虐待问题。
