Notes:	General Overview: This US article looked at recidivism by spouse abusers using records of offenders in the US Army Central Registry. Methods: Recidivism by gender and military status (active-duty or civilian spouse) was compared over a 70-month period. 48,330 offenders were identified in initial and recidivist incidents between 1989 – 1997. Recidivism was analysed by a Cox proportional hazard rate model, controlling for age, race, number of dependents, education and substance abuse. Discussion: Men in the study had a higher recidivism than women, with male civilians being quicker to have a recidivist incident than the active-duty personnel. Civilians married to active-duty personnel, reluctance of reporting and the issue of non-reporting were also discussed. Conclusion: After controlling for other variables, male offenders and civilian offenders were found to have significantly higher risks of recidivist incidents than female offenders and active-duty personnel.
