Abstract

This paper investigates what factors can predict victimisation of domestic violence in England. Previous research has suggested that being female, less educated, living in deprived areas and having low-level occupations are important risk factors for domestic violence victimisation. By utilising data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) between the years 2016 to 2020, this quantitative research project aims to explore the relationship between Socioeconomic Class (SEC), gender and experiencing domestic violence using binary logistic regression. This research explores this relationship further by controlling for various other risk factors determined by the literature, such as social housing tenure and having a disability, which have previously been explored individually. This study concludes that there is a statistically significant relationship (p<.05) between SEC and experiencing domestic violence, with its main contribution being that gender has a significant moderating effect, in such a way that the relationship is stronger for females.
