N2  - This study analyzed data from the Police Stress and Domestic Violence in Police Families in Baltimore, Maryland, 1997-1999 ( N = 753) to examine propositions derived from target congruence theory in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization experienced by police officers. Specifically, this study tested the influence of target vulnerability, target gratifiability, and target antagonism on IPV victimization. <br><br>RESULTS from logistic regression models showed that all three theoretical constructs positively and significantly predicted IPV victimization. <br><br>RESULTS, as well as the study's limitations and directions for future research, are discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
