Abstract

Studies of violent victimization in rural and remote parts of the U.S. are in short supply and the bulk of those done so far focus mainly on man-to-woman violence in intimate relationships among people without disabilities. There is, indeed, a major need to broaden the focus of rural victimological research to include violence against people with disabilities, which is the main objective of this article. Relying on original exploratory data generated by the first phase of the West Virginia Community Quality of Life Survey (WVCQLS), population estimates of four types of violent victimization are presented: stalking, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and hate and bias assaults. The results show that a large number of rural West Virginia residents with disabilities experience these forms of victimization. Directions for further empirical and theoretical work are discussed.
中心地带的残疾人与暴力侵害:西弗吉尼亚州社区生活质量调查第一阶段的结果
对美国农村和偏远地区暴力受害情况的研究非常缺乏,迄今为止所做的大部分研究主要集中在非残疾人亲密关系中男人对女人的暴力行为。事实上,我们亟需扩大农村受害者研究的重点,将针对残疾人的暴力行为纳入研究范围,这也是本文的主要目的。根据西弗吉尼亚州社区生活质量调查(WVCQLS)第一阶段所产生的原始探索性数据,本文介绍了四种类型暴力伤害的人口估计值:跟踪、性攻击、亲密伴侣暴力以及仇恨和偏见攻击。结果显示,西弗吉尼亚州农村地区有大量残疾居民遭受过这些形式的伤害。报告还讨论了进一步开展实证和理论工作的方向。
