-reported violence is more common among American Indians and African Americans than among whites and Asians
-We know that poverty and substance abuse, which contribute to family violence, are more prevalent in American Indian and black populations.
-Also, some groups are less likely to benefit from resources directed at preventing and/or addressing violence:
--Research shows that there are more domestic violence shelters, hotlines, and counseling services in some areas than others (e.g., wealthy areas, college towns, and places with a higher percentage of whites)
-When blacks and whites in similar social setting are compared, the rate of domestic violence in the two groups is virtually the same.
-Intersectionality (from Feminist Perspective) - not race/ethnicity alone but its intersection with gender and class
-Black women and family violence NOT TRUE that black men are inherently more prone to violence. RATHER:
--Black families are more likely to live in disadvantaged areas with less resources.
--Black families often have reason to distrust police or other figures of authorities research suggests that police are LESS likely to make an arrest in response to a domestic violence call when those involved are racial or ethnic minorities.
--Black families (for better or worse) may not want to contribute to the problem of incarceration that affects a disproportionate number of black men.
-Latina women, along with some of the above reasons, may also not report violence or abuse to authorities because they fear provoking immigration authorities to investigate their families (true for all immigrant families, not just Latinos)
