本文探讨了邻里特征在人口普查区的水平，夫妇的感知邻里社会凝聚力和非正式的社会控制，男性对女性（MFPV）和女性对男性（FMPV）的合作伙伴暴力在美国之间的关联。数据来自第二波访谈（2000年），对1995年首次访谈的18岁及以上夫妇进行了全国抽样。路径分析表明，贫困与社会凝聚感和社会控制感之间存在显著的相关关系。然而，社会控制或社会凝聚力对任何类型的暴力都没有显著的调解作用。在路径分析中，黑人种族与社会凝聚力相关，而社会凝聚力与MFPV相关。亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）作为家庭暴力的一种形式，可能不像犯罪暴力那样集中在高贫困社区。IPV可能更多地取决于个人和二元特征，而不是犯罪暴力。
This article examines the association between neighborhood characteristics at the census tract-level, couples' perceived neighborhood social cohesion and informal social control, and male-to-female (MFPV) and female-to-male (FMPV) partner violence in the United States. Data come from a second wave of interviews (2000) with a national sample of couples 18 years of age and older who were first interviewed in 1995. The path analysis shows that poverty is associated with perceived social cohesion and perceived social control as hypothesized. However, there is no significant mediation effect for social control or social cohesion on any type of violence. In the path analysis, Black ethnicity is associated with social cohesion, which is associated with MFPV. Intimate partner violence (IPV), as a form of domestic violence, may not be as concentrated in high-poverty neighborhoods as criminal violence. IPV may be more determined by personal and dyadic characteristics than criminal violence.
