This is a study of men who abuse women. The respondents were residents of a shelter for battered wives during 1977-1978.
Abstract
The study assesses the effect of the abusers' social resources and socialization experiences on their use of violence against the respondents. Abusers with military experience and criminal records used a greater number of different types of violence against their victims than their counterparts without these socialization experiences, and the relationships are specified by the abusers' socioeconomic resources.
