"It Happens All the Time":

Overcoming the Limits of Memory and Method for Chronic Community Violence Experience

TERRY A. WOLFER

University of South Carolina

To date, most researchers concerned with chronic community violence have studied children's experiences and used one-time interviews. In contrast, this study focused on the extent and variety of women's experiences, and used a combination of one-time and repeated interviews. Based on a study of women's experience with chronic community violence, this article argues for the value of repeated, in-depth interviewing about current experience as a method of studying encounters with high-frequency, potentially traumatic events. In short, it suggests that one-time, retrospective interview methods may substantially underestimate the level of the women's experience with chronic community violence and that repeated weekly interviews offer a more thorough and detailed assessment that may serve as a concurrent validity check for brief, structured instruments.
