TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Male Customers of Prostituted Women JO - Violence against women A1 - Busch, Noel Bridget A1 - Bell, Holly A1 - Hotaling, Norma A1 - Monto, Martin A. SP - 1093 EP - 1112 VL - 8 IS - 9 N2 - This study explores the underlyingstructure of the perceptions of 1,342 men arrested for tryingto hire a prostituted woman on the street. The analysis identified eight structural dimensions that accounted for 47% of the explained variance. Three factors contained items reflectingpatriarchal views of women and perceived entitlement to power and control, which are issues that could lead men to exhibit violence. Findings suggest that lower levels of education, conservative attitudes toward sexuality, more frequent pornography use, and traumatic life experiences may be related to entitlement to power and control factors, which in turn could be used to justify violence against women.
