Does the Public Hold Abused Women Responsible for Protecting Children
The responses of 632 Michigan residents to a public opinion survey showed that the respondents thought that children’s exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) is damaging to children but that mothers who seek outside help should not lose custody of their children. Two thirds believed that mothers who are victimized by IPV more than once and do not immediately find a way to stop the violence are neglectful. The findings suggest the need for ed…

The findings of this study contribute to the discussion about the best method for predicting the recurrence of severe domestic violence. The findings are from a secondary data analysis comparing the accuracy of 177 domestic violence survivors' predictions of reassault to risk factors supported by previous research.
