OBJECTIVES
To explore geographic patterns of violence between intimate partners in a metropolitan area with one of the highest injury mortality rates in the nation-Duval County, Florida, which includes the city of Jacksonville.
METHODS
Using police reports of all serious violent incidents in Duval County in 1992 excluding robberies, the authors analyzed patterns in the location of the incidents. Only cases for which the relationship between the offender and victim was recorded were used.
RESULTS
Thematic maps reveal that census tracts with rates above the 75th percentile of assaultive violence between intimates are clustered in certain parts of the city. Concentrated poverty tracts had median rates of violence between intimate nine times higher than other tracts.
CONCLUSIONS
The finding that violence between intimate partners is concentrated in central city poverty neighborhoods opens up avenues for prevention.
目的
在全国伤害死亡率最高的大都市地区之一——佛罗里达州杜瓦尔县（包括杰克逊维尔市），探究亲密伴侣间暴力行为的地理分布模式。
方法
利用1992年杜瓦尔县所有严重暴力事件（不包括抢劫）的警方报告，作者分析了事件发生地点的模式。仅使用记录了犯罪者与受害者关系的案例。
结果
专题地图显示，亲密伴侣间攻击性暴力发生率高于第75百分位数的普查区集中在该市的某些区域。贫困集中的普查区亲密伴侣间暴力的中位数发生率比其他普查区高九倍。
结论
亲密伴侣间暴力行为集中在市中心贫困社区这一发现为预防工作开辟了途径。
