Abstract

A representative sample of 25 years of research relating sociodemographic variables to violence is reviewed. Generalizations from those studies are applied to the authors' more recent research on domestic violence. Factors limiting the ability of the studies to be synthesized into a more meaningful whole are identified. Strategies to enhance the value of future studies are discussed.
