Why might immigrant women be more prone to become the repeated victims of intimate partner violence than native-born American women?
A) Even though the reality of the presence of immigrants in American society may be a reduction in overall crime,our society's institutions and media promote the acceptance of violence between immigrant couples.
B) A woman's risk of partner abuse increases the more isolated she is from the wider society,and immigrant women are perhaps the most isolated in America;many abuse programs and shelters are located in nonimmigrant neighborhoods.
C) Immigrant women are less likely to be educated in American institutions,and therefore their reports of violence and abuse happen within the networks of their communities in their countries of origin.
D) The media portrays solutions to the "problems of immigrants" as deportation,so society does not punish or arrest men in immigrant communities if they act violently toward women.
