Women and Victimization: Contributing Factors, Interventions, and Implications

Seeking a broader picture than provided by the many accounts written from the perspective of a single discipline, Logan, Robert Walker, Carol E. Jordan, and Carl G. Leukefeld (all U. of Kentucky) integrate research from many disciplines on factors that contribute to partner violence and sexual assault victimization, mental health, and substance use among adult women; provide conceptual and research background on why women may interpret and respond to interpersonal victimization very differently; and identify implications for future research and implications for interventions.
