Individuals in the subproletariat social class face a significantly higher risk of physical aggression victimization. This highlights social class as a crucial factor in violence, necessitating targeted intervention strategies for vulnerable populations.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Rising global violence necessitates understanding its social determinants.
  • Limited research exists on the link between socioeconomic status and physical assault victimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between social class and victimization by physical aggression.
  • To identify specific socioeconomic factors contributing to increased risk of assault.

Main Methods:

  • A hospital-based case-control study was conducted between 1993 and 1995.
  • 191 cases and 222 controls were recruited and interviewed using a standardized questionnaire.
  • Data collected included social class, demographics, lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, drug use), and marital status.

Main Results:

  • The subproletariat social class showed a significantly higher risk of physical aggression victimization (OR=3.28).
  • Being single (OR=2.05) and higher levels of alcohol consumption (OR=15.93 for >240g/week) were also associated with increased risk.
  • Smoking over 10 cigarettes/day and illicit drug use were significant risk factors before full adjustment.

Conclusions:

  • Social class is a critical determinant in the risk of physical aggression victimization.
  • The subproletariat requires targeted attention in public health and violence prevention strategies.
  • Further research should explore the complex interplay of socioeconomic factors and violence.
