DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, EMPLOYMENT, AND DIVORCE*
估计家庭暴力模型，发现受虐女性离婚概率是未受虐者的1.7-5.7倍，就业能显著预防暴力，而童年目睹暴力是男性施暴的强预测因子。
Conventional wisdom suggests abused women get caught in a cycle of violence and are unable or unwilling to leave their spouses. We estimate a model of domestic violence to determine who abuses, who is abused, and how women respond to abuse via employment and divorce. In contrast to conventional wisdom, abused women are 1.7–5.7 times more likely to divorce. Employment before abuse occurs is found to be a significant deterrent. For men, witnessing violence as a child is a strong predictor of abusive behavior: re‐socializing men from violent homes lowers abuse rates by 26%–48%.
