Notes:	"September 2004" This US National Institute of Justice research discusses who is most at risk of domestic and intimate violence and details the role that economic policies and employment practices might have in reducing this risk. By examining data from the US Census and from the US National Survey of Families and Households, it looks at household economics, neighbourhood economics and levels of intimate partner violence. Intimate partner violence is found to be more prevalent and more severe in disadvantaged neighbourhoods and in households with economic distress. Its findings suggest that financial assistance to women in poverty may lessen their risk of violence, and recommends targeting services where women are at the greatest risk of intimate partner violence by providing services or resources to those who might need them in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
