This study surveyed a national sample of victim service professionals ( = 222) and compared rural versus urban/suburban participants' perceptions of a variety of issues, such as the impact of the pandemic on gender-based violence victimization and safety advice for isolated victims. Increased interference with victim employment and the abuser monitoring of online activities were reported by participants across all communities. However, urban/suburban participants rated the magnitude of all victim challenges as greater, while more rural participants noted child abuse as a particular problem in their communities. The results highlight the importance of community context for improving coordinated responses to gender-based violence ( = 101).
本研究调查了全国范围内的受害者服务专业人员样本（ = 222），并比较了农村与城市/郊区参与者对各种问题的看法，例如大流行对基于性别的暴力受害和隔离受害者的安全建议的影响。所有社区的参与者都报告说，受害者的就业受到了更多的干扰，施虐者对在线活动的监控也增加了。然而，城市/郊区的参与者认为所有受害者面临的挑战的严重程度都更大，而更多的农村参与者则指出他们社区中的虐待儿童问题特别严重。研究结果强调了社区背景对于改善协调应对基于性别的暴力的重要性（ = 101）。
