“…8,10 While there is heterogeneity in IPV experiences among victims, [29][30][31] protective orders are options for victims experiencing ongoing violence. 32 Also, defendants of IPV are more commonly charged with misdemeanors. 33 Our results indicate that policies requiring rearm surrender in misdemeanor cases and prohibiting rearm possession in stalking cases and protective orders were related to lower odds of injuries.…”

Background: Comprehensive state firearm policies related to intimate partner violence (IPV) may have a significant public health impact on non-lethal IPV-related injuries. Research indicates that more restrictive firearm policies may reduce risk for intimate partner homicide, however it is unclear whether firearm policies prevent or reduce the risk of non-lethal IPV-related injuries. This study sought to examine associations between state-level policies and injuries among U.S. IPV survivors.Methods: Individual-level data were drawn from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, a nationally-representative study of noninstitutionalized adults. State-level data were drawn from a firearm policy compendium. Multivariable regressions were used to test associations of an IPV firearm policy climate index, as well as individual policies, with non-fatal IPV-related injuries (N=6,565). Results: On average, states had 2 IPV-related firearm policies (range 0 to 6). Overall, IPV-related firearm policy climate was associated with lower odds of experiencing injuries (aOR[95% CI]= .95[.91, .98]). Three specific policies were associated with IPV-related injuries. Individuals who reported IPV and live in states that required firearm surrender of persons convicted of IPV-related misdemeanors (aOR[95% CI]=.78 [.64, .95]), prohibited firearms to persons subject to IPV-related protective orders (aOR[95% CI]=.82[.68, .97]) and convicted of stalking (aOR[95% CI]=.77[.64, .92]) had lower odds of experiencing injuries than individuals living in states without these policies. Conclusions: Restrictive state firearm policies regarding IPV may provide unique opportunities to protect IPV survivors from injuries.

“…Harassment and stalking are forms of abuse designed to intimidate, create fear and exert power and control over a former partner. Behaviours include violations of protective orders or custody orders, frequent unwanted contact ( Logan et al, 2008 ; Logan & Walker, 2004 ; Lynch et al, 2021 ; Walker et al, 2004 ) or using third parties to harass ( Messing et al, 2020 ). Custody arrangements often legitimize the abusive partners' contact, providing opportunities for harassment ( Wuest et al, 2006 ).…”

“…Yet, patterns of abusive behaviours following separation have not been clearly defined. Post-separation abuse is often missed by quantitative measures ( Anderson & Saunders, 2003 ), especially the more covert types of abuse that arise following separation ( Galántai et al, 2019 ; Lynch et al, 2021 ; Miller & Smolter, 2011 ). Few quantitative studies have been conducted that elucidate abusive tactics post-separation that include using children, threats, manipulation of visitation and co-parenting schedules, and withholding child support ( Toews & Bermea, 2017 ) and how these tactics impact the health and well-being of children and families ( Broughton & Ford-Gilboe, 2017 ).…”

Aim:To report an analysis of the concept of post-separation abuse and its impact on the health of children and adult survivors.Design: Concept analysis.Data Sources: A literature search was conducted via PubMed, Cochrane and Embase and identified articles published from 1987 to 2021. Methods:Walker and Avant's (2019) eight stage methodology was used for this concept analysis, including identifying the concept, determining the purpose of analysis, identifying uses of the concept, defining attributes, identifying a model case and contrary case, antecedents and consequences and defining empirical referents.Results: Post-separation abuse can be defined as the ongoing, willful pattern of intimidation of a former intimate partner including legal abuse, economic abuse, threats and endangerment to children, isolation and discrediting and harassment and stalking.An analysis of literature identified essential attributes including fear and intimidation; domination, power and control; intrusion and entrapment; omnipresence; and manipulation of systems. Antecedents to post-separation abuse include patriarchal norms, physical separation, children, spatiality and availability, pre-separation IPV and coercive control and perpetrator characteristics. Consequences include lethality, adverse health consequences, institutional violence and betrayal, such as loss of child custody and economic deprivation. Conclusion:This concept analysis provides a significant contribution to the literature because it advances the science for understanding the phenomenon of post-separation abuse. It will aid in developing risk assessment tools and interventions to improve standards of care for adult and children survivors following separation from an abusive partner.Impact: This concept analysis of post-separation abuse provides a comprehensive insight into the phenomenon and a theoretical foundation to inform instrument development, future research and intervention. Post-separation abuse is a complex, multi-faceted phenomenon that requires differential social, legal and healthcare systems responses to support the health and well-being of survivors and their children.

“…The literature highlights the need for continued research on risk factors for IPH (Desta & Venema, 2020; Lynch et al, 2019). Perpetrator-victim relationships have been identified as constituting a risk factor and an issue that warrants serious attention among factors that put an individual at risk of IPH (Graham et al, 2019; Spencer & Stith, 2020).…”

Intimate partner homicide (IPH) is a global public health issue that has serious consequences for an individual’s health. Whereas prior research has made some progress analyzing the perpetrator-victim relationship in understanding the dynamics of IPH, research set in the context of China in this field using the perpetrator-victim relationship as a focal variable in analyzing IPH is still lacking. The current study addresses this gap and builds on existing research by exploring the significance of the perpetrator-victim relationship in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of IPH in China. After examining 979 IPH criminal judgments, the findings revealed that the perpetrator-victim relationship is an important clue in understanding IPH in China today. By analyzing the correlation between intimate relationships as a focal variable and other variables such as IPH characteristics and risk factors, it is possible to understand the prevalence of IPH in China in greater detail. Irrespective of the kind of relationship between the perpetrator and victim, the findings revealed that most of them come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, have no previous history of intimate partner violence, and are not satisfied with their marriages. Although research has provided detailed explanations, the perpetrator-victim relationship remains neglected, especially in the context of research on contemporary China. The findings showed that over half of the perpetrators and victims had intimate relationships with people outside their marriages. This may be the main reason for the rapid increase in the number of instances of IPH, which seems to be in tandem with China’s rapid modernization and urbanization.
