This paper uses longitudinal and nationally representative survey data to investigate the direct relationship between three
forms of child maltreatment (neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse), and future intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration
in the USA. We further examine the indirect effect that child maltreatment has on future IPV perpetration through the presence
of youth violence perpetration, and the roles of socioeconomic factors on committing youth violence and IPV. Analyses indicate
that gender differences exist for the developmental relationship between child maltreatment and young adult IPV perpetration,
and the effects of socioeconomic factors on youth violence and IPV perpetration. For males, the direct effects of being neglected/physically
abused as a child on IPV perpetration are not significant. However, the indirect effects of being neglected/physically abused
on IPV perpetration through the presence of youth violence perpetration are significant. For females, the direct effects of
being neglected/physically abused on IPV perpetration are significant. The indirect effect of being neglected on IPV perpetration
is significant, while the indirect effect of childhood physical abuse is not significant. Childhood sexual abuse is not significantly
directly associated with IPV perpetration for females; however, for males, it is the strongest (i.e., largest effect size)
direct predictor of IPV perpetration. The indirect effects of childhood sexual abuse on IPV perpetration are not significant
for both females and males.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) by women against men has been the subject of much debate. Feminists typically argue that IPV
is committed only by men against women. Others argue that violence is a human problem and women also commit much IPV. To resolve
these debates, IPV has been classified into two categories: common couple violence captured by population-based studies, and
patriarchal terrorism, captured by studies of battered women. This typology ignores male victims of extreme IPV. The current
study addresses this omission by describing 190 male callers to the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men. All callers experienced
physical abuse from their female partners, and a substantial minority feared their wives’ violence and were stalked. Over
90% experienced controlling behaviors, and several men reported frustrating experiences with the domestic violence system.
Callers’ reports indicated that their female abusers had a history of trauma, alcohol/drug problems, mental illness, and homicidal
and suicidal ideations.

Psychiatric disorders of 142 parents of adolescents who were documented as physically abused during adolescence and 168 parents
of non-abused comparison adolescents were assessed. Fathers and mothers of physically abused adolescents exhibited higher
rates of Axis I diagnoses and co-occurring disorders, and had more impaired GAS scores than comparison parents. Fathers of
abused adolescents had greater lifetime incidence of Conduct Disorder and Substance Abuse/Dependence than comparison fathers.
Mothers of abused adolescents had more unipolar depressive disorders than comparison mothers. This study highlights the importance
of mental health assessments and interventions for parents of physically abused adolescents. Since onsets of parental psychiatric
disorders antedated the abuse, early recognition and treatment of parental disorders may contribute to prevention of the onset
and/or reoccurrence of adolescent physical abuse.

Mandatory arrest laws for intimate partner violence (IPV) have increased both the number and proportion of arrests that involve
female defendants. Whether these numbers should be as high as they are remains a source of controversy. Most practitioners
argue that women are usually arrested for defensive actions used in the face of assaults perpetrated by their spouse/partner.
Others believe that these higher arrest rates more accurately reflect the true prevalence of physical aggression perpetrated
by women. One way to help clarify this debate is to take a closer look at the women charged with IPV. The present study used
self-reported information and criminal justice records on prior aggression to classify 485 women convicted of IPV into four
distinct subtypes (i.e., no prior violence, primary victim, primary aggressor, and primary aggressor not identified). Despite the fact that all of these women were arrested for and convicted of IPV, analyses consistently found that few of
the women could be considered as the primary aggressor in their relationship. Nor, however, were all of the women classified
as primary victims. Methodological issues are discussed as well as the policy, practice, and research implications of this
study.

No one, young or old, is immune to interpersonal violence (IPV). Female victims come from a variety of circumstances and across
all ages. However, much of the research and services have focused almost exclusively on younger women. This article compares
women 65 and older to women under 65, who utilized domestic violence (DV) services in a mid-western state over a five-year
period. Although there are many similarities in the findings, differences include that older victims were more likely to be
White, report more emotional and less physical abuse, be referred to services by a legal source, have special needs or disabilities,
and receive fewer services, less service hours and fewer contacts than younger victims utilizing DV services. Implications
for research and practice are discussed.

This study examined the relations among romantic relational aggression, social anxiety, loneliness, depressive symptoms, and
alcohol and drug use in a sample of 215 undergraduate college students. Consistent with prior work, no gender differences
were found in the experience of romantic relational aggression. Results indicated that romantic relational aggression was
positively associated with social anxiety (for women only), loneliness, depressive symptoms, and alcohol use and drug use.
Implications of these findings for the role of aggression within the context of intimate relationships during college are
discussed.

As one way of examining the role of personality in reactions to domestic violence, this study investigated the relationship between dispositional aggression and attitudes toward domestic violence in one sample of African American young adults. Dispositional aggression was assessed using the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ). The AQ purports to measure four distinctive components of the construct. The physical aggression component was expected to correlate the most positively with expressed beliefs about wife battering. Results revealed that individuals who reported high levels of physical aggression were more positive about wife beating and were less punitive in their judgments of batterers. In addition, analysis of scores on the AQ and the Inventory of Beliefs about Wife Beating (IBWB) also demonstrated important gender differences on both scales. Implications of these findings for victims of domestic violence and their sympathizers are discussed.

The associations between intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health among adolescent and young adult mothers were compared.
The sample was drawn from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study and participants were 672 mothers between the ages
of 14 and 21. IPV was significantly positively associated with both depression and anxiety among young adult mothers. However,
these associations were not found among adolescent mothers. In addition, IPV and marital status were significantly related
among young adult mothers, but not adolescent mothers. Results suggest that IPV may have different consequences during different
parts of the life course, or that mental health symptoms may be reported only later in life.

This representative national survey examined incidence of husband-to-wife violence in the past year, lifetime exposure to
parental violence, and the relationships between victimization experiences of family violence and mental health among South
Korean women (N = 1,079). The major findings were that incidence rate of husband-to-wife violence among Korean women was 29.5%, which was
much higher than those of other nations, and that their experiences of physical violence by husbands in the last year and
lifetime verbal abuse by parents had strong associations with the mental health of victims. The findings suggest that preventive
intervention programs for male perpetrators as well as domestic violence victims with mental health problems and comprehensive
interventions for Korean couples are urgently needed. In addition, parents should be educated about how to modify their children’s
behavior without physical punishment or verbal abuse.

Using four categories of accuracy (true positive, false positive, true negative, false negative), this study explored (1)
how accurately intimate partner violence (IPV) victims are able to assess their risk of re-abuse; and (2) potential predictors
of accuracy. Women seeking help for IPV (N = 246) rated the likelihood that they would experience physical re-abuse in the coming year and then reported 18 months later
whether those risks had been realized. Victim assessments were more likely to be right than wrong, and were subject to neither
a pessimistic nor optimistic bias. In the multivariate analysis, significant/marginally significant predictors of the accuracy
categories were the history of violence from this and former partners, level of substance use, PTSD symptoms, and the recency
of the violence. Among the more robust findings were the connection between level of stalking and true positives, and between
substance use and false negatives. This study suggests that victim assessments have significant potential to inform practice,
and deserve further exploration.

While separate evidence exists that married military women have high rates of both intimate partner violence victimization
and aggression, little is known about the context of this violence, including the extent to which the violence committed toward
and by military women is physical, psychological or sexual, whether the violence is unilateral or bi-directional, and the
extent of injury sustained or inflicted. In order to gain a more multi-dimensional understanding of the violence in the lives
of military women, this study involved 248 enlisted females who completed a self-report survey about themselves and their
spouses’ behavior. Results indicate that the majority of violence reported was bi-directional and symmetrical in terms of
type and level of severity. However, enlisted females were more than three times as likely to be victims of unilateral severe
violence as their male civilian spouses. Demographic factors associated with these patterns of violence were also identified.

Research investigating women’s risk assessments for intimate partner violence (IPV) shows that women can predict future violence
with relative accuracy. Limited research has investigated factors that are associated with perceived risk and the potential
behavioral consequences of victim risk perception. Results from a survey of women in a domestic violence shelter (N = 56) indicated that women perceive lower risk of future violence if the abusive relationship were to end and higher risk
of violence if it were to continue. Certain abuse experiences were related to elevated perceptions of personal risk for future
violence. Further, perceived personal risk predicted the women’s intention to terminate their relationship upon leaving shelter.
Results are discussed as they may inform interventions preventing IPV.

The prevalence and serious consequences of family violence have given rise to massive research efforts. However, there is
often a discrepancy between the official definitions and public perception of child abuse, elder abuse, and spouse abuse cases.
Under-reporting is common due to lack of awareness of the abusive behaviors by the public. Differences between perception
of abuse and reporting are well documented in the context of single group of victims. However, research studies on the differences
in perception and reporting of different forms of abusive behaviors that occur to victims of child abuse, spouse abuse, and
elder abuse are scarce. The present study attempts to examine whether perception and reporting of abuse will be different
with respect to who the victim is and how the victim is abused. Findings show that perception and reporting of abusive behavior
differ with respect to the victims of abuse and to the nature of abusive behaviors. Implications of these differences and
directions for practice are discussed.

The Migrant Clinicians Network’s Familias con Voz (Families with a Voice) project aims to train migrant men and women to become intimate partner violence (IPV) peer educators
in their communities. In preparation for implementing educational activities, a community survey was conducted with 298 participants
in three Texas border counties. Verbal abuse, such as name calling, was the most frequent type of violence reported. Men perceived
anger as a cause of partner violence significantly more than women. Only 22% of respondents reported knowing of a shelter
they could turn to for help. Surprisingly, a majority of participants cited “seeking help from the police” when asked about
ways to decrease partner violence. Survey results offer insight into developing effective intervention programs by capturing
the intended audiences’ beliefs and attitudes. Additionally, survey results reveal possible strategies for how to tackle IPV
in U.S.-Mexico border migrant farmworker communities.

Violence against women has been recognized as an important social and human rights issue that affects all cultures and societies.
Although this issue has been more frequently studied in high-income countries, such as the United States, the scholarly research
of violence against women in Africa, especially West Africa, has been scarce. Using a representative sample, this study examined
violence against women in Togo, particularly the types of violence that Togolese women endure, and factors that affect a Togolese
woman’s chance of being victimized by her intimate partner. The findings indicated that Togolese women experienced different
forms of violence. Also, some covariates at the individual level significantly affected a woman’s risk of experiencing intimate
partner violence. Several policy recommendations have been made.

Illegality does not necessarily breed violence. The relationship between illicit markets and violence depends on institutions
of protection. When state-sponsored protection rackets form, illicit markets can be peaceful. Conversely, the breakdown of
state-sponsored protection rackets, which may result from well-meaning policy reforms intended to improve law enforcement,
can lead to violence. The cases of drug trafficking in contemporary Mexico and Burma show how a focus on the emergence and
breakdown of state-sponsored protection rackets helps explain variation in levels of violence both within and across illicit
markets.

The Interactional and Discursive View of Violence and Resistance is a framework for critical analysis and research, prevention
and intervention that takes into account the conditions that enable personalized violence, the actions of perpetrators and
victims, and the language used in representing those actions. Using this analytic framework, we analyzed five accounts of
personalized violence, one each from a perpetrator, a psychiatrist, a judge, a government minister, and a therapist. Our results
demonstrate the scope and the ubiquity with which diverse accounts locally accomplish four-discursive-operations; namely,
the concealing of violence, obfuscating of perpetrators’ responsibility, concealing of victims’ resistance, and blaming and
pathologizing of victims. We examine the specific linguistic devices that combine to accomplish the four-discursive-operations
in each case. These data suggest that the problem of violence is inextricably linked to the problem of representation.

Accurately predicting inpatient aggression is an important endeavor. The current study investigated inpatient aggression over
a six-month time period in a sample of 152 male forensic patients. We assessed constructs of psychopathy, anger, and active
symptoms of mental illness and tested their ability to predict reactive and instrumental aggression. Across all levels of
analyses, anger and active symptoms of mental illness predicted reactive aggression. Traits of psychopathy, which demonstrated
no relationship to reactive aggression, were a robust predictor of instrumental aggression. This study (a) reestablishes psychopathy
as a clinically useful construct in predicting inpatient instrumental aggression, (b) provides some validation for the reactive/instrumental
aggression paradigm in forensic inpatients, and (c) makes recommendations for integrating risk assessment results into treatment
interventions.

Dating Violence Victimization,Relationship Satisfaction,Mental Health Problems,and Acceptability of Violence: A Comparison of Men and Women 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two of the most common reported consequences of dating violence are its impact on the victim’s satisfaction with their romantic
relationship and its impact on the victim’s mental health. Recent research suggests that the strength of these relationships
may be moderated by the degree to which the dating violence is acceptable to the victim. However, studies of these relationships
have been limited to samples of women. The purpose of the present research was to examine the relationships among dating violence
victimization, relationship satisfaction, mental health problems, and acceptability of violence for a sample that includes
not only female victims, but also male victims. Using a sample of 155 male and 417 female college students, hierarchical regression
analyses found that dating violence victimization is associated with relationship satisfaction and mental health problems
for both men and women. For men, acceptability of violence moderated the relationship between dating violence victimization
and the mental health problems of depression, anxiety, and somatization. For women, acceptability of violence moderated the
relationship between dating violence victimization and relationship satisfaction only.

Terrorist violence and violent justice responses have much in common. While contextually dependant, both forms of violence
lay claim to contestred legitimacies. The relationships between terrorism and justice responses require both theoretical and
empirical examination if the prospects for controlling the violence they perpetrate is to be sharpened.
