Prevalence of Domestic Violence in Community Sample Clauses

Prevalence of Domestic Violence in Community. Based Populations At present, the majority of prevalence studies focus exclusively on women’s experience of domestic violence. For instance in 2005 the World Health Organization conducted the largest prevalence study to date, which surveyed women’s experience of physical, sexual and psychological partner violence across fifteen sites in ten countries (i.e. Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, Japan, Peru, Namibia, Samoa, Serbia and Montenegro, Thailand, and the United Republic of Tanzania). Findings from 24,097 women aged 15-49 years identified a lifetime prevalence of 15% - 71% for physical and/or sexual partner violence, with two sites reporting a prevalence of less than 25%, seven sites between 25%-50% and six sites between 50%-75%. Japanese women reported the lowest lifetime prevalence of partner violence and Bangladeshi, Ethiopian, Peruvian and Tanzanian women reported the highest prevalence. For past year partner violence, prevalence estimates ranged from 4%- 54% among women (Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, et al, 2009). The authors warn that these prevalence figures may underestimate the true extent of violence experienced by women, as conservative definitions of domestic violence were used in order to reflect differing views about violence across the ten countries. In 2009 Xxxxx et al conducted a comprehensive systematic review of UK community-based studies (published since 1995), assessing the prevalence of physical, sexual and psychological partner violence among women. The review identified five studies that reported a lifetime prevalence of 13%-31% and a past year prevalence of 4.2%-6% among women (Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, et al, 2009). The authors state that the majority of UK prevalence studies focus on violence perpetrated by an intimate partner and overlook abuse perpetrated by other family members. Most studies in the review only reported data on the prevalence of physical violence, even when surveys instruments also collected data on experiences of sexual violence and psychological abuse. Some large scale surveys, including the UK British Crime Survey (BCS) and the USA National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), examine both men’s and women’s experience of domestic violence. Findings from these studies often report comparable rates of isolated incidents of domestic violence among men and women (Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx-Xxxxxx, 2010). For instance, the 2001 BCS sampled 22,463 residents in England and Wales and found that 6% of w...
