Abstract

Intimate partner homicide (IPH) continues to be a form of violence disproportionately affecting women in the United States, and access to firearms can greatly increase the likelihood that intimate partner violence becomes lethal. In response to concerns about firearms violence and their prevalence in IPH incidents specifically, states have passed restrictive firearms laws and policies. In this study, we provide an analysis of female IPH victimization disaggregated by race/ethnicity that incorporates state-level firearms legislation. Our analytical approach is informed by intersectionality and accounts for other key intimate partner violence policies and structural predictors. We find that the relationship between firearms legislation and IPH varies in magnitude and direction across specific race/ethnicity female victimization groups. As such, our findings provide support for an intersectional framework in that restrictive firearms laws are not consistently associated with lower levels of IPH when incidents are disaggregated by gender and race/ethnicity.

枪支、政策和亲密伴侣杀人案:对黑人、拉丁裔和白人女性受害情况的结构性分类研究
在美国,亲密伴侣杀人(IPH)仍然是一种对妇女造成严重影响的暴力形式,而获得枪支会大大增加亲密伴侣暴力致死的可能性。为了回应人们对枪支暴力以及枪支在亲密伴侣暴力事件中普遍存在的担忧,各州纷纷通过了限制枪支的法律和政策。在本研究中,我们结合各州的枪支立法,对按种族/民族分列的女性亲密伴侣暴力受害情况进行了分析。我们的分析方法以交叉性为基础,并考虑了其他关键的亲密伴侣暴力政策和结构性预测因素。我们发现,在特定种族/民族的女性受害群体中,枪支立法与亲密伴侣暴力之间的关系在程度和方向上都有所不同。因此,我们的研究结果为交叉性框架提供了支持,即当事件按性别和种族/民族分类时,限制性枪支法并不总是与较低水平的 IPH 相关联。
