We investigated variables predictive of domestic violence from 64 intake forms at a battered women's shelter. The batterer, usually the financial provider, used drugs/alcohol. Clients' physical abuse as children was correlated with whether their siblings were abused, and to emotional and sexual abuse. Clients' parents being alcoholic was correlated with spouse abuse between clients' parents and with clients' sexual abuse as a child. Findings support theories viewing domestic violence as a familial pattern. Domestic violence is, unfortunately, a common place occurrence. Statistics compiled by the Arkansas Coalition Against Violence to Women and Children indicate that domestic violence is the major cause of injuries to women, exceeding automobile accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. National statistics (Healthy People 2000, 1990) reveal that "between 2 and 4 million women are physically battered each year by partners" (p. 61), with some 21 to 30% of women having been beaten by a partner at least once (Healthy People 2000, 1990). Moreover, domestic violence occurs at least once in up to half of all marriages. In fact, domestic violence is the most frequently experienced type of violent crime (Northeast Arkansas Council..., 1994). This violence also extends to children. For example, Healthy People 2000 indicated that "In 1986 an estimated 1.6 million children nationwide experienced some form of abuse or neglect" (p. 61), with physical abuse being the most common type of abuse. From battered women seeking assistance, data have been gathered on both victims and abusers. Although battered women can come from different backgrounds, commonalities exist.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
我们从一家受虐妇女庇护所的64份收容登记表中调查了家庭暴力的预测变量。施暴者通常是经济支柱，有吸毒/酗酒问题。客户童年时期遭受身体虐待与他们的兄弟姐妹是否受虐、以及情感和性虐待相关。客户的父母酗酒与客户父母之间的配偶虐待以及客户童年时期的性虐待相关。研究结果支持将家庭暴力视为一种家庭模式的理论。不幸的是，家庭暴力是常见现象。阿肯色州反对妇女和儿童暴力联盟汇编的统计数据表明，家庭暴力是妇女受伤的主要原因，超过了汽车事故、抢劫和强奸的总和。全国统计数据（《健康人民2000》，1990年）显示，“每年有200万至400万妇女遭到伴侣的身体殴打”（第61页），约21%至30%的妇女至少被伴侣殴打一次（《健康人民2000》，1990年）。此外，高达一半的婚姻中至少发生过一次家庭暴力。事实上，家庭暴力是最常发生的暴力犯罪类型（阿肯色州东北部委员会……，1994年）。这种暴力也延伸到了儿童。例如，《健康人民2000》指出，“1986年，全国估计有160万儿童遭受某种形式的虐待或忽视”（第61页），身体虐待是最常见的虐待类型。从寻求帮助的受虐妇女那里，收集了受害者和施虐者双方的数据。尽管受虐妇女可能来自不同背景，但也存在一些共性。（摘要截选至250字）
