Female offenders are often portrayed as victims of violence, yet few studies have systematically examined such victimization. Violent experiences may both contribute to, and result from, crime - early family abuse may help propel a young woman into crime, and a criminal lifestyle may increase her risk of assault by strangers and intimate partners. Using data from 83 inmates, this study examined violent childhood and adult experiences, and explored possible linkages between victimization and offending. Although many women reported violent experiences, most striking was the high rate of assault by intimate partners. Early physical abuse was associated with earlier entry into crime, and with more diverse criminal activity. Attacks by strangers were more often reported by women who engaged in more frequent and diverse criminal activity. The data suggest that in order to understand female crime, additional research on the complex relationships between offending and victimization is warranted.

Key findings are presented from an empirical study profiling 1,474 cases of honor-based abuse (HBA) known to police and victim services in England and Wales. Thematic and quantitative (regression) analyses were used to investigate whether and how HBA differed from other forms of domestic abuse and forced marriage. A new typology of HBA is proposed, based principally on the relationship(s) between victim and perpetrator(s). Interpreted within an overarching lens of gender-based violence, it is argued that Type 1 (partner abuse) and Type 3 (partner plus family abuse) are culturally specific forms of domestic abuse, whereas Type 2 (family abuse) is distinct.

Through personal narratives, we outline the complexities of researching and understanding domestic abuse in Christian culture. We paint a story based on our childhood memories of growing up with a verbally abusive, emotionally manipulative father and reflect on the obstacles we have encountered as researchers in trying to address domestic abuse within our faith community. Through our narratives, it becomes painfully clear that research on domestic abuse from the victim's perspective is an area that needs increased scholarly attention. Our faith has both enabled abuse in our family and at the same time has helped us cope with the continuing effects of abuse. The stories we share are intended to inspire increased interdisciplinary scholarship on domestic abuse and illustrate how scholarship can lead to new approaches that address the complex matrix of family abuse, religion and parenting.
