Studies in the United States and Canada suggest that interracial relationships have a higher incidence of intrapartner violence (IPV). Of the seven existing studies, only one empirically examined speculation in the literature about this relationship. Based on an analysis of data from Statistics Canada's 2009 General Social Survey (GSS), Brownridge was unable to fully explain the increased risk of partner violence in interracial relationships. This study used data on 16,706 Canadians (731 in interracial relationships and 15,975 in non-interracial relationships) from the 2014 iteration of Statistics Canada's GSS to determine whether the risk of partner violence in interracial relationships has changed since 2009, and to examine risk factors that may account for the increased risk of partner violence in interracial relationships. The results showed that people in interracial relationships had an increased likelihood of becoming a victim of partner violence compared to monogamous relationships in the 5-year reporting period preceding the survey (odds ratio [OR] = 2.37; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.40, 4.02]; p < 0.001). This was similar to what Brownridge found in the 2009 GSS data, indicating that the increased risk of partner violence in interracial relationships remained stable in Canada over the 10-year reporting period. Risk factors from three levels of the ecological model were examined, and multiple logistic regression analyses showed that partner characteristics (young age, drug use and jealousy) were fully responsible for the significantly increased likelihood of becoming a victim of partner violence in interracial relationships. Although leading speculation on this relationship implies stressors that are unique to these relationships, the current study suggests that this phenomenon is mainly due to the characteristics of individuals with whom those in interracial relationships are more likely to be paired.
