Explaining Violence Against Women in Canada by Douglas A. Brownridge Book PDF Summary
This book describes a research study that used data from Statistics Canada's "Violence against women survey" to identify differing rates of marital violence affecting married and cohabiting females. It discusses why cohabitators and marrieds have been - but should not be - combined in analyses of violence, and demonstrates that those who cohabited with someone other than their husbands prior to getting married are more likely to experience violence than married women who have never cohabited with anyone other than their husbands.
