Civil protection orders are one of the most widely used legal interventions for intimate partner violence. Every American state has legislation that allows victims to seek legal remedies through protection orders such as preventing abusers from contacting them, requiring perpetrators to stay away from specific locations, and ordering removal of firearms. However, judges do not grant every petition for a protection order. This study analyzed over 1000 civil protection order cases from Nebraska to identify how factors not prescribed in the legal statute contribute to a determination of whether victims receive protection. The results suggest that victims' gender and the counties in which they file influence victims' chances of obtaining a protection order. Male victims, victims with children with their abuser, and married victims are significantly less likely to receive protection orders, even after controlling for the severity, recency, and type of abuse. Both male and female victims who file their cases in metropolitan counties are more likely to receive protection orders than their nonmetropolitan counterparts.

地点和社会人口统计学特征在发布临时民防令中的作用

民事保护令是针对亲密伴侣暴力的最广泛使用的法律干预措施之一。美国每个州都有立法，允许受害者通过保护令寻求法律补救，例如防止虐待者与他们联系，要求作案者远离特定地点以及命令移走枪支。但是，法官不会批准保护令。这项研究分析了来自内布拉斯加州的1000多个民事保护令案件，以确定法律法规中未规定的因素如何有助于确定受害者是否获得保护。结果表明，受害者的性别和他们所处的县会影响受害者获得保护令的机会。男性受害者，有孩子的受害者及其虐待者，甚至在控制了虐待的严重程度，新近度和类型之后，已婚受害人也不太可能收到保护令。在大城市县提起诉讼的男性和女性受害者比非大城市的受害者更有可能获得保护令。
