“…However, Monson and Langhinrichsen-Rohling (1998) added a fourth type of perpetrator to their typology, the "Sexually Obsessed" perpetrator. The Sexually Obsessed perpetrator is analogous to Finkelhor and Yllo's (1985) "obsessive" type, or the "wife rape only" type (e.g., Hanneke, Shields, & McCall, 1986;Russell, 1990). This type of perpetrator is theorized to desire much deviant sex, but rarely if ever engages in other types of physical violence.…”

The present study tested the validity of an integrated sexual and nonsexual violence perpetrator typology outlined by Monson and Langhinrichsen-Rohling (1998) in a sample of 670 dating individuals. Two-hundred-and-sixty-five of the participants (87 men, 178 women) reported some act of sexual and/or physical dating violence perpetration in their lifetime. The data supported at least three perpetrator types, namely, the Relationship-only, Generally Violent/Antisocial, and Histrionic/Preoccupied types. Overall, these findings indicate that different factors may cause or maintain the intimate violence perpetrated within this heterogeneous population. There were important gender differences in perpetrator type membership, highlighting the differences in men's and women's use of violence. The implications of these findings are discussed with regard to the development of typologies, their application to men and women perpetrators, as well as their utility for the assessment and treatment of perpetrators.

“…Other research (Granberg and Granberg 1980) indicates serious reasons for nondisclosure by this exceptionally small percentage of women: rape, wife-beating, and incest are grounds most accepted by the public. Data collected by Hanneke, Shields, and McCall (1986) offer some suggestion that wife-beating and harassment may figure largely in some non-notification. Because their sample is not randomly drawn their figures may be considered rough estimates, but indicate deeper problems underlying spousal notification: in particular, that of volition in marital sex.…”

“…Limited to archival data, we could not investigate the more intractable category of marital rape that ends in abortion. Fortunately, Hanneke, Shields, and McCall (1986), roughly coterminous with our data collection, gave questionnaires to 256 women married or cohabiting 6 months or longer and awaiting abortion at RHS. Although 71.5% report experiencing no violence in their marriage, 1.3% say they were "raped only," 21.1% "battered only," and 6.3% "raped and battered."…”

Since the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, numerous states have passed or considered laws requiring a woman notify her spouse before an abortion. These laws presume that substantial numbers of women do not inform their spouses of their intentions and that frequency of abortions would radically reduce were women so required. This manuscript discusses the major court decisions pertaining to spousal notification. Because expert witnesses give only suggestive evidence that substantial numbers of women would be affected by such laws, data from a random sample stratified by year for 1,004 married women who aborted between 1978 and 1982 at a major clinic in St. Louis, Missouri, are presented. Findings suggest that fewer than 1 in 20 women do not voluntarily notify their husbands. Almost all who report they informed their husbands say their husbands agreed with their decision. What differentiates women who did and did not voluntarily notify their husbands is explored and clear distinctions emerge. Notifiers proved an extremely homogeneous group and non‐notifiers extremely heterogeneous. Expectations of spousal support of the decision and notification of parents significantly predict husband notification. Although non‐notification appears due to various factors, nearly all husbands offer significant support to their wives' decisions.

“…During the experience of violence, different subtypes of abuse, for example physical abuse, psychological aggression or threats can occur in conjunction. The results shows that victims of dating violence are often exposed to multiple forms of violence from a partner (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Research studies have also found a significant relationship between physical abuse and psychological aggression (16)(17).…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of dating violence and jealousy among university students. The role of situational and background factors of risk in explaining violent behaviour was examined. The study included 33 men and 89 women participants, from 20 to 24 years of age, from the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Mostar. For the assessment of dating violence, The Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2) Partner-to-Partner was used. Males and females estimated the intensity of their jealousy in hypothetical situations presenting scenarios of emotional and sexual infidelity. The results of the analyses of the total sample showed that boys and girls differ significantly with respect to the frequency of committing and exposure to violent behaviour in a dating relationship. Men were more often the perpetrators of sexual abuse and threatening behaviour in relation to women. At the same time they were more often exposed to various forms of examined abuse in comparison to women. No differences in the intensity of jealousy between men and women were found. However, a regression analysis showed that jealousy, as a contextual variable, and earlier violent behaviour, as well as a situational variable, is a significant predictor of the exposure and perpetration of dating violence. The results of this study should be taken into account in the development and implementation of programmes for the prevention of violent behaviour in youth adults dating relationships.
