TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Domestic violence in the urban fringe JO - Urban policy and research A1 - Carpenter, Belinda A1 - Bartolo, Lawrence Di SP - 347 EP - 366 VL - 19 IS - 3 N2 - Police call data for domestic violence incidents in the city of Brisbane were used to further explore the locational disadvantage thesis. It was hypothesised that the supposed additional burdens and stresses on disadvantaged families living in the outer suburbs may be reflected in significantly higher rates of reported domestic violence. Using an index of relative socioeconomic disadvantage and employing Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), this research shows that significantly higher rates of reported domestic violence occur in the inner suburbs relative to the middle or outer suburbs of Brisbane. This finding adds further doubt as to the magnitude of locational disadvantage impacts on outer suburban low income family households.
