Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to explore police stress and intimate partner violence.This thesis tests whether spouses with the same occupation, specifically law enforcement, are less likely to engage in physical abuse towards one another than police without a spouse in law enforcement.The data used for this thesis come from Police Stress and Domestic Violence in Police Families in Baltimore, Maryland, 1997-1999 (N=874) to examine the effects of being a police officer, exercise, rank, feeling burned out, and interparental violence have on intimate partner violence.Of the five hypotheses, three were supported by the data.Exercise as a coping mechanism was found to be important in this study; therefore, future research is recommended on continuing to investigate various strategies police officers use to deal with police stress.v
