Differential patterns of partner-to-woman violence
Random versus Clinical Samples

Multiple regression was performed with delinquency as the dependent variable and family dynamics, parental alcohol use, and type of sample as the independent variables. Interaction terms were constructed by multiplying each regressor by type of sample (coded 0 = random sample, 1 = clinical sample). The interaction terms for three …
