A statistical Study to Classify Violence Against Women Cases in the Palestinian Society
Abstract
Different types of violence against women in the Palestinian society were analyzed in order to develop a framework to recognize various forms of violent incidents against women in the Palestinian society, and to find a good statistical model able to describe this phenomenon; and to specify the most risk factors having the highest impact on the level of prevalence of this phenomenon. The research data based on a survey on domestic violence in the Palestinian society conducted by the Palestinian Centered Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) in 2019.The Multinomial logistic Regression was used as it proved that it is a useful analysis method and all objectives of this research was achieved by it.The main findings of this research were that husband is the main source of violence against women, the most important risk factors were; conflict in marriage, place of residence, type of housing, the economic situations of the family, husband ignoring wife, and difficulties and lack of stability in husband's work.This confirms that there are many factors related closely to this problem. Therefore, an integrated program that superintend of the family must be adopted to reduce this problem.
