The authors analyzed data from interviews of 331 women from 11 U.S. cities who had been physically assaulted by a current or former partner within a two year period. Intimate terrorism was defined as having been physically assaulted by a partner and experiencing one or more controlling behaviors by the same partner. Women who experienced intimate terrorism were partnered with men who were more than 2 times as likely to have access to a gun as compared to physically assaulted women who experienced no controlling behaviors.
