"In the area of demographic risk factors, older age is associated with decreased risk for IPV, with the peak seeming to occur quite early – in late adolescence and young adulthood. This is contrary to earlier views that IPV was related to entrapment in marriage (Stets & Straus, 1989) and inevitably got worse over time (Walker, 1989)."
