“…A traumatic stress response framework has frequently been used to conceptualize the link between IPV and depression: traumatic events such as domestic abuse can cause fear, stress, and feelings of helplessness, isolation, and powerlessness, which may lead to depression [ 86 , 88 – 92 ]. Salcioglu et al [ 93 ] found that the strongest predictors of depression and PTSD in IPV survivors were helplessness and fear due to a sense of ongoing threat to safety. It has been suggested that a chronic traumatic stress response, where a victim is subjected to ongoing abuse, may lead to alterations in affect and sense of self (i.e., the predominance of self-blame and depressive affect) [ 94 – 96 ].…”

PurposeThere is growing awareness of the problem of intimate partner violence (IPV) among military populations. IPV victimisation has been shown to be associated with mental disorder. A better understanding of the link between IPV and mental disorder is needed to inform service development to meet the needs of military families. We aimed to systematically review the literature on the association between IPV victimisation and mental health disorders among military personnel.MethodsSearches of four electronic databases (Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) were supplemented by reference list screening. Heterogeneity among studies precluded a meta-analysis.ResultsThirteen studies were included. There was stronger evidence for an association between IPV and depression/alcohol problems than between IPV and PTSD. An association between IPV and mental health problems was more frequently found among veterans compared to active duty personnel. However, the link between IPV and alcohol misuse was more consistently found among active duty samples. Finally, among active duty personnel psychological IPV was more consistently associated with depression/alcohol problems than physical/sexual IPV. The review highlighted the lack of research on male IPV victimisation in the military.ConclusionsThere is evidence that the burden of mental health need may be significant among military personnel who are victims of IPV. The influence of attitudes towards gender in the military on research in this area is discussed. Further research is needed to inform development of services and policy to reduce IPV victimisation and the mental health consequences among military personnel.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00127-017-1423-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Subsequently, the direct and negative consequences of such abuse are well-known [2–5]. However, what has not been assessed until now is the negative health consequences that the experience of IPV can have on the child of the mother experiencing the abuse.…”

“…South Africa has one of the highest rates of intimate partner or domestic violence in the world with 50% of all murders of women being by their intimate partners at a rate of 8.8 per 100,000 population [1]. Death is not the only consequence of intimate partner violence (IPV), with research showing that victims are also known to suffer from depression [2, 3], suicidal ideation [4], the development of chronic pain injuries [3], severe reproductive health outcomes [3], and are more susceptible to HIV infection [3, 5].…”

Women in South Africa experience high levels of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). There are numerous health consequences experienced by victims. However, children of IPV victims often experience negative emotional and developmental outcomes as well. In South Africa, infant and child health outcomes are not optimal and IPV is high, and thus there is a need to determine whether a relationship between them exists. This study used the 2016 South African Demographic and Health Survey. Mothers aged 15 to 49 and who were included in the Domestic Violence module formed the study population. Frequency tables and graphs were done, and unadjusted and adjusted logistic regressions were performed with each of the three reported child health outcomes (birth weight, duration of breastfeeding and diarrhoea incidence), IPV and other socio-demographic factors. Thirteen percent of women have experienced IPV. Five percent of their children were low birth weight, 10% had experienced diarrhoea; but 87% had been breastfed for 6+ months. Mothers in the rich wealth category were 37% more likely to have a child born at low birth weight but those aged 20 to 39 had around a 60% less likelihood of breastfeeding for 6+ months than 15 to 19-year olds. Women who had experienced IPV had around 77% higher odds of having a child experience diarrhoea in the last 2 weeks. Wealthier mothers often have unhealthier lifestyle practices and behaviours, due to more disposable income which could account for lower birth weight children. Mothers in tertiary education and starting their professional careers are normally around 20 to 39 years and should be provided supportive structures to be allowed to breastfeed their children. The long-term emotional and developmental consequences to children of IPV victims are known, but we now know that there are also very immediate consequences to the health of these children as well.

“…There could be multiple reasons for inaccurate perception of risk. Some people may under-estimate their risk because they have substance abuse problems (Vatnar, Friestad, & Bjørkly, 2017), or because a combination of factors such as PTSD, depression and fear prevent them from assessing their risk accurately (Salcioglu, Urhan, Pirinccioglu, & Aydin, 2017). Of course, an additional challenge in asking victims about their fear is that some victims do not co-operate with the police (e.g., Myhill, 2017).…”

Risk assessment for intimate partner violence: how can the police assess risk?

The use of risk assessment tools by frontline police for intimate partner violence has the potential to make a difference to policing. In this paper, the key aspects of intimate partner violence risk assessment are outlined critically with a particular emphasis on how they can be used in practice. Two, evidence-based, exemplars are reviewed. These are the Ontario Domestic Abuse Risk Assessment (ODARA), an example of the actuarial approach, and the Brief Spousal Assault Form for the Evaluation of Risk (B-SAFER), an example of the structured professional judgement approach. In addition, the victim giving his or her own appraisal of risk is discussed. All three approaches have some validity when administered properly but practical factors reduce this validity. The content of the risk assessment tools are outlined and practical concerns such as training, time to administer, reliability, validity, and the overlap of intimate partner violence with other forms of offending are discussed. A balanced overview of the strengths, weaknesses and future potential of intimate partner violence risk assessment is provided.
