N2  - While a number of studies have documented the correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrated by police officers, no study to date has examined the influence of self-control (i.e., self-regulation) and the desire-to-be-in-control on this study population. Therefore, data obtained from the Police Stress and Domestic Violence in Police Families in Baltimore, Maryland, 1997-1999 were analyzed to determine what influence, if any, these variables have on IPV. <br><br>RESULTS from logistic regression models indicated that self-control was not related to IPV, but the desire-to-be-in-control was found to be positive and significant in predicting the dependent variable. This study provided further evidence that IPV may be the result of a person's desire to attain and maintain power and control over their partner's behavior.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
