The primary objective of this research was to understand what role
women thought alcohol played in their partners' violence to them.
It aimed to: 1) question whether women blamed alcohol for their
partners' violence, 2) establish whether the women made allowances
for their partners' violence because of their partners' drinking,
3) determine the extent to which the women believed alcohol played
a key role in such violence, 4) explore any differences in the
women's beliefs about alcohol's role in violence when it was
directed at others, and when it was directed at them, 5) develop
theory, grounded in the women's views, that offers an explanation
for alcohol's role in the violence they experienced. In-depth,
semi-structured, interviews were conducted with 20 women who
suffered violence or abuse from their partners. Due to the subject
of this research and the absence of women's views in research on
this subject, a grounded theory approach was used, located within a
feminist research framework. The study concluded that while the
women accept that alcohol has disinhibiting effects, they do not
blame alcohol for their partners' violence and abuse.
