At the Crossroads and in the Crosshairs
Although research and social policy on domestic violence and poverty have largely focused on factors linked to welfare reform policy goals, low-income abused women have a broader set of needs for which they turn to the state for assistance. Using ethnographic data, I explore the impact of abused mothers' interactions with an array of social welfare policy systems on their ability to protect themselves and their children from domestic violence. An…
The Research Article as an Instrument of Active Learning for Teaching About Violence, Sexual Abuse, and Union Formation Among Low-Income Families
As noted by Goldsmid and Wilson a quarter of a century ago, a “curious gulf” exists between teaching and research in sociology.

The active learning exercises are linked to explicit student learning outcomes that build upon recommendations …
The Influence of Physical and Sexual Abuse on Marriage and Cohabitation
Using ethnographic and survey data on low-income families residing in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio, we examine the relationship between women's patterns of union formation and their experience of physical and sexual abuse.

The data also suggest that the timing and …

Similarly, researchers have only begun to explore the connections between domestic violence and poverty and the profound consequences and damaging correlates of intimate abuse for poor mothers. This research report presents a …
