Determinants of Domestic Violence: Evidence from Malaysia

Abstract  

This study investigates the determinants of domestic violence, which is often unseen, and is a widespread form of gender-based
violence affecting women the world over. The analysis is limited to the household impact in examining how demographic and
marital capital factors relate to domestic violence in Malaysia. Empirical evidence used in this study is based on secondary
data obtained from Women’s Aid Organisation’s case files. Results indicate three variables, specifically the perpetrator’s
age, the survivor’s income status, and the number of children, show a significant link to the level of violence in a household.
