This study examines the physical health, emotional well-being, and problem behavior outcomes associated with intimate partner abuse (IPA) victimization and perpetration experiences by analyzing a nationally representative, prospective, and longitudinal sample of 879 men and women collected from the National Youth Survey Family Study (NYSFS) and assessed across a period of 9 years from 1993 to 2003. Using multivariate regression techniques, it was found that both men and women experience numerous negative outcomes associated with their IPA victimization and perpetration experiences. Implications of these findings are discussed, as are the study’s limitations, and future research directions.

And Gender

We review the research on intimate partner abuse and, in particular, the articles in this issue, from within a feminist and postmodern framework. Research on women's use of violence is reviewed in terms of how researchers have constructed and measured violence and have conceptualized intimate partner violence (IPV) and gender. What and how we measure determines what we find ( McHugh & Cosgrove, 2005 ). We call for new conceptualizations of intimate violence and for more complex constructions of gender. We offer a postmodern perspective on gender and IPV arguing that interpersonal violence always involves gender, that approach and method influence results, and that men and women use violence in both similar and different ways.

This chapter analyses the murder of Jennifer Alfonso by her husband Derek Medina in Florida on August 8, 2013. Jennifer's murder was what criminologists call an intimate partner homicide (IPH). International media reports of the case followed a well-established pattern that devalued IPH, treating the homicide as a one-off event where an otherwise ‘normal’ perpetrator ‘snaps’ and loses control in a moment of madness. The fact that Derek had posted on Facebook was at the very the centre of the story, if not the story itself. The chapter first describes the background of Derek and Jennifer's relationship, Derek's media practices, and his attempt at identity management after his arrest before examining his Facebook homicide confession. It also contextualises the murder in relation to the relevant literature on intimate partner abuse and IPH.

The Past

While understanding of intimate partner abuse (IPA) in gay and lesbian relationships has increased within the past decade, there remain several gaps in the help-seeking research. In particular, research examining the external barriers to help-seeking encountered by gay and lesbian victims of IPA has been largely atheoretical. To address this gap, an application of The Barriers Model was undertaken. This mixed-methods study surveyed 280 gay, lesbian, and/or queer participants living in Canada. Findings revealed that victims encountered external barriers in the environment (i.e., Layer 1 of the model), such as lack of availability of gay and lesbian specific services. Results also suggested that barriers due to family/socialization/role expectations (i.e., Layer 2 of the model), such as concealment of sexual orientation, had an impact on help-seeking.

Effect Of Age

Objectives: The purpose of the current research was to study the intimate partner emotional abuse as a form of IPV victimization in India and also was to examine how gender and age effects the alleged intimate partner emotional abuse. Methodology: Initially a sample of 500 hundred heterosexual males and females were contacted. Sample of total 300 hundred was selected based on the inclusion criteria. The sample was further categorized into 150 hundred males and 150 hundred females. Each of these groups was further divided with 75 in each subgroups of age I (30-35 years), and age II (35-40 years). Emotional Abuse Questionnaire (EAQ; Gottman & Gottman, 2009) was used. Results: 2 x 2 ANOVA revealed significant main effect of gender (F (1, 592) = 22.10, p < 0.01), and non-significant main effect of age. Mean scores on gender revealed that females (M = 251.23) were higher than males (M =241.86) on perceived intimate partner emotional abuse. Conclusion: The results of present study revealed that females were higher than males on perceived intimate partner emotional abuse but there are increasing numbers of men who are reporting to be victims of perceived intimate partner abuse.
