Description
This data collection contains information on 330 incidents
of domestic violence in Minneapolis. Part 1, Police Data, contains data
from the initial police reports filled out after each incident. Parts
2-5 are based on interviews that were conducted with all parties to the
domestic assaults. Information for Part 2, Initial Data, was gathered
from the victims after the incidents. Part 3, Follow-Up Data, consists
of data from follow-up interviews with the victims and with relatives
and acquaintances of both victims and suspects. There could be up to 12
contacts per case. Suspect interviews are the source for Part 4,
Suspect Data. An experimental section, Part 5, Repeat Data, contains
information on repeat incidents of domestic assault from interviews
with victims. Parts 2-5 include items such as socioeconomic and
demographic data describing the suspect and the victim, relationship
(husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, divorced, separated),
nature of the argument that spurred the assault, presence or absence of
physical violence, and the nature and extent of police contact in the
incident. The collection also includes police records, which are the
basis for Parts 6-9. These files record the date of the crime,
ethnicity of the participants, presence or absence of alcohol or drugs
and weapons, and whether a police assault occurred.
