Notes:	This study examines women’s use of intimate partner violence in relation to their own victimisation. Primarily low-income women who have used physical violence against their male partner were recruited from a New England (USA) city. The relationships were classified according the following types: women as victims (34%), women as aggressors (12%), mixed-male coercive (32%) and mixed-female coercive (18%). Some of the findings reveal that 58 per cent of the women used just as much or more physical violence than their partners. Nevertheless, only 30 per cent used just as much or more coercive control than their partners.
