A panel discusses the importance of including in domestic
violence research and services victims from various backgrounds
and situations with diverse characteristics and experiences of
abuse. |
|
Abstract:
|
One panel member reports on a "brainstorming" session that
solicited a listing of diverse groups of people who may have
experienced domestic violence. Among the list produced are
incarcerated women, men and youth, disabled women, immigrant
women, homeless women and children, migrant women and children,
older persons, individuals in nursing homes, and multi-racial
individuals. The problem for practitioners and researchers is to
find abused individuals in these various groups, engage them in
conversation about their personal experiences, and gain their
cooperation in research or service participation. Sometimes,
however, people from marginal groups are screened out of research
or programming because of communication problems
(non-English-speaking) or because they have characteristics with
which the researchers or practitioners feel incapable of dealing,
such as criminal backgrounds, drug addiction, or mental illness.
A panel member notes that practitioners and advocates are likely
to be more zealous than researchers in seeking out populations of
women whose backgrounds, characteristics, or ethnic identities
differ from mainstream victims of domestic violence. Researchers
should focus on such practitioners and advocates so as to advance
research and knowledge that will be helpful in serving these
diverse populations of victims. One panel member describes
research in Seattle, Wash., that focused on the prevalence of
domestic violence among a minority population. |
