The aim of this study was to examine the association between the victim vulnerability factors included in the intimate partner violence (IPV) risk assessment tool used by the Swedish police (Brief Spousal Assault Form for the Evaluation of Risk [B-SAFER]) and rates of IPV revictimization among female victims living in rural towns, countryside, or remote areas. This study also aimed to examine the interaction between rurality and IPV revictimization in relation to victim vulnerability. The sample consisted of 695 cases of male-to-female perpetrated IPV, which had been reported to the Swedish police and subjected to a B-SAFER assessment. Rates of revictimization were examined in police registers. The results demonstrated that several vulnerability factors could discriminate between IPV revictimization across rurality. There was also an interaction effect between rurality and IPV revictimization in relation to the number of victim vulnerability factors present, where revictimization was more common for victims with many vulnerability factors living in more sparsely populated areas.
本研究的目的是检验瑞典警方使用的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）风险评估工具（简易配偶攻击风险评估表[B-SAFER]）中包含的受害者脆弱性因素与生活在乡村小镇、农村或偏远地区的女性受害者遭受IPV再次侵害的发生率之间的关联。本研究还旨在检验乡村性与IPV再次侵害之间在受害者脆弱性方面的相互作用。样本包括695起男性对女性实施的IPV案件，这些案件已向瑞典警方报案并接受了B-SAFER评估。通过警方登记册检查再次受害率。结果表明，几个脆弱性因素可以区分不同乡村地区的IPV再次侵害情况。在存在的受害者脆弱性因素数量方面，乡村性与IPV再次侵害之间也存在相互作用效应，即生活在人口更为稀少地区且有许多脆弱性因素的受害者遭受再次侵害的情况更为常见。
