ABSTRACT
The qualitative and quantitative methods phase of this study utilizes the secondary data collected from this study, to conduct a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the 493 intimate partner homicide (IPH) cases for data set A and the sixty-two (62) IPH cases with petition for injunction filings for data set B. Because this innovative empirical research study incorporates data collected from the qualitative phase of the study, allowing the coercive control tactics coded through the content analysis to be measured against other quantitative data collected regarding IPHs to help answer the research questions, this phase of the study is largely exploratory in nature. NVivo Pro 12, a qualitative social sciences software package, was utilized to conduct the qualitative phase of this study; and IBM SPSS®, an advanced statistical software analysis program, was used to perform the quantitative analyses discussed in this study. Logistic regression was used as the multivariate analysis for data set A and B.
