Background: Advances in technology provide opportunities for communication using electronic mediums. Sexting is one form of electronic communication and includes the sending of explicit sexual content (e.g., photos, text) through electronic mediums. Previous research demonstrated a positive association between sexting and behaviors such as substance use. Moreover, substance use increases the risk for intimate partner violence and is also associated with risky behaviors. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to examine the prevalence of sexting in a sample of 84 women mandated to attend batterer intervention programs following arrest for domestic violence. The associations between sexting, substance use, and intimate partner violence were also examined. Method: Participants completed self-report questionnaires that assessed sexting, intimate partner violence, and alcohol and drug use symptoms. Results: Fifty-four percent of participants reported being asked to send a sext, 35.1% reported sending a sext, and 32.0% reported requesting a sext. Drug use symptoms were positively associated with some forms of sexting and intimate partner violence. There was a significant difference in drug use symptoms, such that women who received a request to send a sext had significantly more symptoms relative to women who had not received a request to send a sext. Conclusion: This is the first examination of sexting in a sample of women arrested for domestic violence. Findings indicate an association between drug use symptoms, sexting, and intimate partner violence, warranting continued research in this domain.

Batterer Intervention Programs

Research has attempted to elucidate men and women’s proximal motivations for perpetrating intimate partner violence (IPV). However, previous research has yet to clarify and resolve contention regarding whether motives for IPV are gender-neutral or gender-specific. Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare motives for physical IPV perpetration among a sample of men (n = 90) and women (n = 87) arrested for domestic violence and court referred to batterer intervention programs. Results demonstrated that the most frequently endorsed motives for IPV by both men and women were self-defense, expression of negative emotions, and communication difficulties. With the exception of expression of negative emotions and retaliation, with women endorsing these motives more often than men, there were no significant differences between men and women’s self-reported reasons for perpetrating physical aggression. The implications of these findings for future research and intervention programs are discussed.

Recent Introduction

The role of technology in intimate partner violence is becoming increasingly common. Intimate partner cyber harassment is a subset of "digital domestic violence", whereby partners and ex-partners use technology to stalk and harass their victims. This article examines intimate partner cyber harassment, discussing the nature of the behaviour, its prevalence in New Zealand and the damaging impact it has on its victims. The focus, however, is on New Zealand's legislative response. The conclusion reached is that despite the recent introduction of the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015 and the review of both the Harassment Act 1997 and the Domestic Violence Act 1995, protections for victims of cyber harassment in the context of intimate partner violence remain ineffective. The current legislation fails to fully appreciate the complex issue and protections for victims lie behind procedural barriers. This article recommends that amending existing legislation is the most desirable solution as it enables pre-existing protections to be utilised to more effectively apply to and thus protect victims of intimate partner cyber harassment.

El presente estudio se enfocó en explorar las teorías implícitas de la violencia de pareja en hombres y mujeres, residentes de un municipio ubicado al norte de Sinaloa. Para ello se elaboró el cuestionario de teorías implícitas de la violencia de pareja, a partir de las cuatro tipologías establecidas para la violencia en el ámbito privado: física, sexual, económica y psicológica. Se tomaron en cuenta dos variables: el sexo de los participantes y el del agresor. En los resultados se reconoce la violencia explícita y la sutil. En términos generales, los hombres tienden a atribuir menor grado de violencia que las mujeres. Se resalta la importancia de explorar las construcciones  sociales sobre la violencia, para entender la magnitud y crecimiento de este fenómeno. Palabras clave: violencia de pareja; género; teorías implícitas; atribución; pensamiento social; Sinaloa. Abstract: the present study was aimed at exploring the implicit theories of intimate partner violence between men and women of a municipality located in northern Sinaloa. In order to retrieve such theories, an Intimate Partner Violence Questionnaire (ctivp) was developed from the established definition for domestic violence across four domains: physical, sexual, economic and psychological. Two independent variables were considered: the participants' and the aggressor’s gender. Results showed that two types of violence are recognized: explicit and subtle. Generally speaking, men tend to attribute lesser degree of violence than women. The relevance of exploring social constructions of violence to understand the degree and growth of this phenomenon is highlighted.Palabras clave: violencia de pareja; género; teorías implícitas; atribución; pensamiento social; Sinaloa. AbstractThe present study was aimed at exploring the implicit theories of intimate partner violence between men and women of a municipality located in northern Sinaloa.
