Guardians Against Spousal Violence? A Case for Considering Motive
2015
Overview
The current study examines the applicability of the routine activity factor, of guardianship, to intimate partner violence. In so doing, it expands the range of routine activity theory to better accommodate different types of crime and challenges the original theoretical notion of simply “assuming” motivated offenders (Cohen and Felson,
American Sociological Review, 44
, 588–604
1979
). Findings from the National Violence and Threats of Violence Against Women & Men in the U.S., 1994–1996 (Tjaden and Thoennes
1998
) survey indicate routine activity principles such as guardianship may be useful in understanding the risk of intimate violence, but that the effects of guardianship depend on the motive for the violence. Implications for research and theory are discussed.
