TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Interpersonal victimization among a national sample of Latino women JO - Violence against women A1 - Cuevas, Carlos A. A1 - Sabina, Chiara A1 - Milloshi, Riva SP - 377 EP - 403 VL - 18 IS - 4 N2 - This article presents results from the Sexual Assault Among Latinas (SALAS) study, which obtained lifetime prevalence rates of interpersonal violence from a national sample of adult Latino women. Results show that more than half of the women in the study (53.6%) reported at least one victimization experience during their lifetime, with approximately two thirds of the victimized women (66.2%) experiencing more than one victimization incident, pointing to significant levels of polyvictimization and revictimization patterns across all victimization types. The results provide estimates of lifetime interpersonal violence and present a broader scope of the victimization experiences for this population.
