Abstract
This study examines how an individual's level of education and ethnicity influence the risk of experiencing domestic violence (DV). Findings within existing research about education levels and DV suggest that higher levels of education are generally associated with a decreased risk of experiencing DV. However, educational disparities exist that impact marginalized populations. Ethnic minorities are at a disproportionate risk of experiencing limited access to educational opportunities. These groups are also at an elevated risk of experiencing DV. This study also explores how ethnic backgrounds and cultural norms impact risk and willingness to seek help for DV. The research in this study expands on the limited body of literature in this area by addressing research gaps that explore this topic but lack proper synthesis and depth. It also proposes policy implications to increase access to educational opportunities and reduce DV risk.
