Abstract

Determining predictors of intimate partner violence (IPV) can help reduce risk. Human insecurity may propel a chain of events that increases IPV. We examined human insecurity and IPV across 197 countries. Results showed IPV is highest in countries with more internally displaced persons and homelessness due to natural disasters.
