“…To counter this prevailing attitude, feminist anti-violence activists worked in the 1970s to establish a 'law and order' response in which IPA was taken seriously by the criminal justice system and penalized in the same manner as stranger assault (Richie 1996, Hirschel and Hutchinson 2003, Sokoloff and Dupont 2005. However, one unintended consequence of these efforts was the positioning of the criminal justice system as the primary means of redress for battered women (Richie 1996, Josephson 2002, Almeida and Lockard 2005. In effect, a norm developed in which battered women who were 'serious' about getting help were expected to utilize criminal justice resources (Ford 1983, Hoyle and Sanders 2000, Hirschel and Hutchinson 2003, including calling the police (Coulter et al 1999, Bowker 1984, Abel and Suh 1987, Hutchinson and Hirschel 1998 partners and prompt an escalation in violence as a means of revenge (Ford 1983, Fischer and Rose 1995, Erez and Belknap 1998, Zoellner et al 2000, Bui 2001, Krishnan et al 2001.…”

“…A large body of work in criminology has documented disproportionately negative experiences with police in disadvantaged communities, with a focus on the experience of people of color (see review in Brunson and Miller 2006). There is a general consensus in the IPV literature that given this context, IPV victims' experiences with police are also more negative when they are of lower SES, and that this problem is even worse in communities of color (Coker 2005;Cole 2001;Josephson 2005), but there is little empirical evidence or detail of how or why this is so. This study asks if interactions with police are indeed more negative among women who have experienced IPV when their SES is lower, and if so, how.…”

“…The exception is poverty, which is the only factor that consistently has been found to be a key contributor to domestic violence (Davies, 2008;Jewkes, 2005;Josephson, 2005;Lyon, 2000Lyon, , 2002Sokoloff & Dupont, 2005). The most recent USDOJ (2007) statistics from an analysis of reported and unreported family violence indicate that persons in households with annual incomes less than $7,500 (below the U.S. poverty threshold) have higher rates of assault than do persons in households with higher income levels.…”

“…Number 6(Supplement) 65, S34 , Survivors of domestic violence often face challenges sustaining employment (Josephson, 2005;Riger & Staggs, 2004;Tolman & Raphael, 2000). One common reason is that abuse, including stalking and excessive phone calls or other forms of contact, often happens at the workplace (Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence, 2002Violence, -2008.…”
