Feminist scholars have made important contributions to the understanding of the nature and causes of violence against women, but they are often vague about the direction of the causal effect. The proposed study seeks to clarify the influence of females' labor force participation (proxy for gender inequality) on their physical, non-lethal, violent victimization. Using data from the 1992-94 National Crime Victimization Survey in conjunction with data from the 1990 Census of the United States' Population, the study will employ Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) procedures to investigate how gender inequality, social disorganization, racial residential segregation, and social class isolation interact with a number of individual and situational factors to augment females' violent victimization.

女权主义学者对理解暴力侵害妇女行为的性质和原因做出了重要贡献，但他们往往对因果影响的方向含糊其辞。 拟议的研究旨在澄清女性的劳动力参与（性别不平等的代理）对其身体，非致命，暴力受害的影响。 利用1992-94年全国犯罪受害调查的数据，结合1990年美国人口普查的数据，这项研究将采用分层线性模型（HLM）程序来调查性别不平等，社会解体，种族居住隔离和社会阶层隔离如何与一些个人和情境因素相互作用，以增加女性的暴力受害。
