    Author: Ammar N, Couture-Carron A, Alvi S, San Antonio J.
    Journal: Violence Against Women; 2013 Dec; 19(12):1449-71. PubMed ID: 24493664.
    Abstract:
    Little research has been conducted to distinguish the unique experiences of specific groups of interpersonal violence victims. This is especially true in the case of battered Muslim immigrant women in the United States. This article examines battered Muslim immigrant women's experiences with intimate partner violence and their experiences with the police. Furthermore, to provide a more refined view related to battered Muslim immigrant women's situation, the article compares the latter group's experiences to battered non-Muslim immigrant women's experiences. Finally, we seek to clarify the similarities and differences between battered immigrant women aiming to inform responsive police service delivery.
