Detail Persistence, Intensity, and Areal Extent of Violence Against Women: Baltimore City, 1992 to 1995 Bibliografi Author: Harries, Keith ; Kovandzic, Eric Bahasa: (EN )     Jenis: Article Abstract The authors focus on the density of assaults against women in Baltimore City, expressed in terms of persistence, intensity, and areal extent. Aggravated assaults and homicides with female victims were abstracted from the data base of all such events in police files for the 4 years 1992 to 1995 (N = 36,286). Women were victims in 209 homicides and 12,553 aggravated assaults. Problem areas were delineated using a threshold incident density of approximately two standard deviations above the mean. Maps expressing this density level were prepared for each year. The intersection of each annual high density pattern with census block group geography was determined, and block groups were divided into two classes: those intersecting high density zones and those not intersecting. The authors report on salient census characteristics of the two sets of block groups and comment on relevant policy implications. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
