N2  - "To date the residential mobility literature has portrayed the change of residence as a rational decision made on the basis of the wants and needs of a household according to its stage in the life cycle. However, my study of women survivors of family violence found that their residential mobility experiences cannot be accounted for by the life cycle. Rather they are determined by loss of security caused by violence or threatened violence, and the subsequent search for security in another place. Further, these women move much more frequently than other women. This study adds to the residential mobility literature by providing a qualitative study of the experience of women survivors of family violence and, in addition, contrasts their experiences with the literature."
