This is a summary
of the major findings that I have drawn from the annotated
bibliography on Domestic Violence research that was drawn
up by Professor Martin Fiebert. I have made judgement
calls based on my understanding of the various annotations, but
I am not making any claims about the correctness or otherwise
of the annotations, or of the conclusions made in the pieces of
research themselves. Some of the pieces of research are surveys
summarising the research then extant, so some studies may in effect
have been counted more than once.
A few individual studies are
about specific ethnic groups, about the reasons why women are
abusive, or about actual homicides, etc., and have been ignored
for the purposes of this overview.
(N.B. This overview is not being updated,
whereas the Annotated Bibliography which it summarises is being
updated.)
