TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Intimate partner violence in urban, rural, and remote areas: an investigation of offense severity and risk factors JO - Violence against women A1 - Strand, Susanne J. M. A1 - Storey, Jennifer E. SP - 188 EP - 207 VL - 25 IS - 2 N2 - This study compared the severity of intimate partner violence (IPV) and the relationship between risk factors for IPV and overall risk judgments of future IPV in urban, rural, and remote areas. IPV risk assessments conducted by the Swedish police between 2010 and 2014 in urban ( n = 564), rural ( n = 456), and remote ( n = 196) areas were examined. Rurality was associated with the severity of IPV reported, as well as the presence of risk factors and their relationship to overall risk judgments. Cases in remote areas included more severe IPV as well as more risk factors.
