Prevalence of Domestic Violence Sample Clauses

Prevalence of Domestic Violence. Prevalence estimates of domestic violence vary considerably, due to differences in research methodologies, study samples (e.g. community versus clinical samples) and operational definitions of domestic violence; including the time frame assessed for violent experiences (i.e. lifetime versus past year violence), and the type of violent behaviours examined (i.e. physical, sexual, psychological) (Xxxxxxx, Xxx & Xxxxx, 2010). Studies employing broader definitions (i.e. physical and non-physical violence) are shown to report higher rates of domestic violence than studies using narrower definitions (i.e. physical violence only) (Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, et al, 2009). Differences in terminologies of domestic violence among survey instruments also account for variations in estimates (Langhinrichsen-Xxxxxxx, 2010). For example, one of the most widely used instruments, the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) (Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxx-XxXxx, et al, 1996; Xxxxxx, 1979), examines specific behavioural acts of violence (e.g. slapping, kicking, hitting) arising from relationship conflicts. Research using the CTS has generally reported comparable rates of violence among men and women (Xxxxxx, 2000; Xxxxxx, 2002), although the CTS has been criticised for ignoring the context, motivations and meanings surrounding violent attacks (Xxxxxx, 2006; XxXxxxxxxx, 2011). Interestingly, survey instruments which do examine these contextual issues (e.g. Women’s Experience with Battering Scale (WEB) (Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XxXxxxxx, et al, 2002)) repeatedly indicate that women are more likely to experience violence than men (Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Kemball, et al, 2008) (see Chapter 2 section 2.4.2 for a critique of the CTS scale). Finally, the method of administration of survey instruments (i.e. researcher administered versus self-complete surveys) affects response rates. Findings suggest that disclosure of domestic violence is considerably higher for self- completion surveys compared to researcher administered instruments (XxxXxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, et al, 2006; Xxxxx & Xxxxx, 2004).
