Lunchtime Seminar: Battered Women's Continued Vulnerability to Intimate Partner Violence 

March 8, 2007 

Wellesley, MA- Battered women are not only vulnerable to further abuse by a given partner, but many are also vulnerable to abuse by multiple partners. In this presentation, Pamela Alexander, Research Scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women, describes the results of four different studies of battered women focusing on the identification of characteristics associated with ongoing vulnerability to intimate partner violence.
