Abstract:
This fact sheet reviews basic demographics and statistics on domestic violence within Chinese communities in the United States. It draws from the U.S. Census, the reports “Shattered Lives: Homicides, Domestic Violence and Asian Families” and “Asian Family Violence Report: A study of the Cambodian, Chinese, Korean, South Asian, and Vietnamese communities in Massachusetts,” as well as various survey research published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Journal of Family Violence, and Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect. The fact sheet concludes with a listing of translated materials and resources. Some of the statistical research cited is older, as far back as 1997. (CVRL Abstract)
