Book Description
This report presents the findings of a computerised self-completion questionnaire included in the 2001 British Crime Survey to determine the nature and extent of inter-personal violence in England and Wales. The results of the survey show that inter-personal violence is widespread: approximately one third of the population has been affected by inter-personal violence at some time in their lives; one in twenty women have experienced serious sexual assault; and one in five women and one in ten men have been victims of domestic violence. The results also indicate that there are high levels of repeat victimisation, especially in cases of domestic violence.

To better understand the role of cultural context as it relates to domestic violence, three experts in the field - each a woman of color herself - were invited to collaborate on a chapter detailing the results of their research in African American, Latino, and Asian American populations. Featuring this enriching ethnic perspective, the authors consider the implications for change the research could have on public opinion and behavior.
