TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Repeat victimization among intimate partner violence victims the impact of guardianship JO - Feminist criminology A1 - Hayes, Brittany E. SP - 138 EP - 159 VL - 13 IS - 2 N2 - Despite progress in the application of routine activity theory to violence against women, much remains unknown about guardianship. The current study examined if presence of a capable adult guardian limited the risk of revictimization by an intimate partner, controlling for social support (N = 497). Analyses tested differential impacts of guardians by examining if the presence of the victim's friends/family, abuser's friends/family, and/or bystander during the earliest reported physical abuse incident or threat of abuse affected likelihood of revictimization within a year. Odds of revictimization decreased by 60% when the earliest reported physical abuse incident or threat of abuse occurred in the presence of the respondent's friends/family. Implications for practices and research suggestions are discussed.
