Patterns of spouse/fiance sponsorship to Australia.
"This article is based on research conducted in 1992 for the [Australian] Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs.  The aim was to investigate both repeat and serial sponsorship...for all groups of women, though the majority are from Asia.  Interviews with women who had been sponsored, community and health workers, refuge workers and others revealed that repeat sponsorship was a common phenomenon.  Further, repeat sponsors demonstrated a high level of perpetration of various forms of domestic violence."
