| Abstract
|
:
|
The issue explored in this study was domestic violence in the South Asian, Middle Eastern, African and American-born Muslim community in Texas. Taking into account the various influences that impact the perceptions of domestic violence in Muslim families, often reveals interesting similarities. The purpose of this study was to examine the common factors that impact the various dimensions of domestic violence in Muslim families. A qualitative method was suitable based on the identified problem and aims of the study. Data was collected using the qualitative case study research design, which utilized responses to interview questions. The interview questions were guided by field experts. This case study focused on individuals, which resulted in the collection of detailed and in-depth data. The populations of interest for this study were Muslim women from South Asia, Middle East, Africa or the United States, who were previous victims of domestic violence. The data collected from these interviews was then analyzed and compared to Walker's (1999) study of attitudes about domestic violence. Results of the study supported the premise that gender roles, family/community support, and the tolerance for domestic violence were significant factors in the experiences of the participants in this study. The design of the study was guided by Yin's (2003) suggestions for case study design and methods. Twelve themes emerged in this study. The conclusions drawn from the case study were that gender inequalities, societal acceptance, and cultural norms all have an impact on the dimensions of domestic violence in Muslim families.
