TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Toward Ethnically Specific Models of Employment, Public Assistance, and Victimization JO - Violence against women A1 - Honeycutt, Todd C. A1 - Marshall, Linda L. A1 - Weston, Rebecca SP - 126 EP - 140 VL - 7 IS - 2 N2 - Among 836 low-income women, those receiving Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) or food stamps had experienced more coercive sexual assault, abuse by past partners, psychological abuse by current partners, and types of victimization than women not receiving assistance. The two groups of women were equally likely to endure threats or violence from current partners. African Americans and European Americans were more likely to have been victimized than Mexican Americans. European Americans reported more severe victimization except current partner violence. Multiple regressions on employment and assistance showed victimization predictors that varied by ethnicity. The effects of abuse by current partners were limited and are likely to be indirect.
