Within a large field of family violence research, a slowly growing body of literature has examined community-level variables to explain variation in violence. Studies investigating the role of ecological factors have largely been informed by social disorganization theory. This represents considerable progress, but the community context also includes many ecological factors yet to be considered by studies examining family violence, and as such, successful neighborhood interventions have been limited. Furthermore, few community-level studies have explored whether serious family violence is geographically clustered. The current study used police calls for service data to examine how the health context of a community is associated with family violence. Accounting for spatial dependence, a higher prevalence of self-reported mental illness in a neighborhood related to family violence, although a higher prevalence of physical health difficulties was negatively associated with family violence. These results carry implications that can inform community-based efforts, particularly in economically disadvantaged neighborhood, aimed at reducing family violence.
在家庭暴力研究的广阔领域中，越来越多的文献研究了社区层面的变量，以解释暴力行为的变化。研究调查了生态因素的作用，这些研究主要受到社会失序理论的启发。这是相当大的进步，但社区环境还包括许多尚未被研究家庭暴力的研究考虑的生态因素，因此，成功的邻里干预措施一直受到限制。此外，很少有社区层面的研究探讨严重的家庭暴力是否在地理上呈聚集性。本研究使用警察报案数据，探讨社区的健康状况与家庭暴力之间的关系。考虑到空间依赖性，社区内报告的精神疾病患病率较高与家庭暴力有关，而身体健康困难的患病率较高则与家庭暴力呈负相关。这些结果具有启示意义，可以为以减少家庭暴力为目标的以社区为基础的努力提供信息，特别是在经济上处于不利地位的社区。
