Abstract
Intimate partner violence occurs in relationships of intimacy, kinship, dependency, or trust. It ranges from physical, emotional, financial, and sexual abuse to neglect. A relatively unexplored area has been the study of the type of crime as a factor affecting stress and coping in victims. A small but compelling body of literature suggests that such stressors as crime victimization may be coped with quite differently by subgroups of victims. As such, this study explores the differences in appraisal, coping strategy, levels of distress, social support, and well-being in a sample of intimate partner abuse victims and victims of other violent crimes.
