“…One likely explanation is that when partners differ in educational levels, they are more likely to hold different expectations about decision making, housework, or intimacy. The relationship between education and domestic violence has been inconsistent in past studies and should be examined more closely in future research (Lupri et al, 1994).…”

“…However, in ancillary analyses (not shown), income and education were significantly associated with violence at the bivariate level. As Lupri, Grandin, and Brinkerhoff (1994) found in their analyses of Canadian survey data, socioeconomic status variables were mediated by the inclusion of other sociodemographic factors in analyses of NSFH1 data.…”

“…The links among domestic violence and education and non-White ethnicity, however, are inconsistent (Lupri, Grandin, & Brinkerhoff, 1994;Rosenberg & Fenley, 1991). Recent work has examined the mechanisms through which this structural inequality influences domestic assaults.…”

“…Women's dependence on their husbands is often tied to their typically inferior earning power, which forces women to rely on their partners to maintain their standard of living (Straus & Gelles, 1986). Lupri, Grandin, and Brinkerhoff (1994) suggest that because men hold the majority of high‐paying positions in society, it follows that they also command higher power in marital and family relationships. The presence of young children may further reinforce women's dependency on marriage by limiting their opportunity for paid employment (Kalmuss & Straus).…”

This article analyzing national data (N = 7,408) examines the connection between men's and women's relative economic contributions in families and the risk of husband‐to‐wife physical violence and emotional abuse. Family violence researchers have conceptualized the association between economic variables and the risk of intimate partner violence with respect to the structural dimensions of sociodemographic factors, whereas feminist researchers connect economic power to family dynamics. Marital dependency and stress frustration theories treat income, education, and employment as socioeconomic resources, whereas some feminist research points to the need for research that treats these economic variables as symbolic resources. Although income and educational attainment reduce women's risk of physical violence and emotional abuse by husbands, I find that status incompatibilities between partners that favor women increase the likelihood of emotional abuse.

“…Capaldi, Knoble, Shortt, & Kim, 2012;Renzetti, 2009) against this claim, the overall findings on SES -IPV link seem to be at least partly mixed. Indeed, some research has suggested that the association between low SES and a high risk for IPV is weak (Jewkes, 2002;Stith, Smith, Penn, Ward, & Tritt, 2004) or even inverse (Lupri, Grandin, & Brinkerhoff, 1994).…”

Intimate partner violence victimization and household financial strain

Most scholars agree that low socio-economic status is associated with an elevated risk for violent victimization as well as offending. Nevertheless, it has been suggested that certain forms of violence-particularly intimate partner violence (IPV)-are more equally distributed in the population, not concentrating on the lower social strata as strongly as other forms of violence. In this paper, we examine the association between financial strain, measured on the household level, and two different types of victimization: IPV and violence committed by a person unknown to the victim. The analysis is based on the 2013 sweep of Finnish National Crime Victim Survey (n ¼ 6,999), a nationally representative survey incorporating a mix of postal and web-based survey methodology. Multivariate analyses indicate that the risk for both kinds of victimization is highest among those who report financial difficulties. Moreover, the association between IPV and financial strain appears stronger when less serious violent incidences are excluded from the analysis.
