“…The prediction that offenders who had more children would domestic violence also increased with each additional child, but this increase was not statistically significant. This finding is consistent with previous literature (Hotaling & Sugarman, 1986;Szinovacz & Egley, 1995).…”

“…Similarly, married individuals are less likely to engage in crime in general (Laub & Sampson, 2003). Still more evidence suggests that perpetration of intimate partner violence may be positively related to the number of children a couple has (Hotaling & Sugarman, 1986;Szinovacz & Egley, 1995). Having many children has been shown to decrease couples' marital satisfaction (Twenge, Campbell, & Foster, 2003), which increases the incidence of partner violence (Stith, Green, Smith, & Ward, 2008).…”

Intimate Partner Violence During the Transition from Prison to the Community: An Ecological Analysis

While extensive research has been conducted on the causes of intimate partner violence in the community, very little is known about rates and predictors of domestic violence perpetrated by offenders who have recently been incarcerated. Some evidence suggests that formerly incarcerated individuals may be at an increased risk to perpetrate intimate partner violence during the transition from prison to the community (e.g., Hairston & Oliver 2006;Hilton, Harris, Popham, & Lang, 2010;Oliver & Hairston, 2008). The primary goal of this dissertation was to examine the extent to which former inmates engage in domestic violence during the transition from prison to the community. A second goal of this dissertation was to determine the independent and interactive effects of selected individual, situational, and social- iii Dedication My dissertation is dedicated to my dad, Stephen J. Freeland, PhD (Colorado State University, 1981). Da, I still have the "Round Tuit" that Pop gave to you while you were writing your dissertation. I am honored that you passed it down to me while I was writing mine. Your achievement of a PhD was the biggest motivator for me to follow in the same path (even if mine is not in a "real" science -ha ha). You have no idea how wonderful it has been to be able to share my struggles during this process with someone who knows them only too well. I never would have begun this journey without your support, and I never would have finished without your perpetual encouragement. I love you.iv Table 2 Demographic characteristics of the study sample and study population who were released from prison to Multnomah county and the population of offenders released to the entire state between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2009.................................................................................................................. 117 Table 6 Descriptive statistics for individual, situational, and social-structural level variables (n=1137)................................................................................................ 155 Table 7 Descriptive statistics for additional individual-level demographic characteristics (n=1137)........................................................................................ 156 ....................................................................................... 219 Incarceration rates in the United States (US) are exceptionally high. With more than 730 per 100,000 US residents housed in prisons and local jails, current incarceration rates have surpassed those of any other time in US history and those of all other Western European countries (Gottschalk, 2009;Raphael, 2009;Tonry, 1999). While the growth in US incarceration rates initially corresponded with increasing violent crime in the 1980s, an overall decrease in violent crime in the 1990s was not followed by a reciprocal decrease in incarceration (Tonry, 1999;Warren, Gelb, Horowitz, & Riordan, 2008). Violent crime-with the exception of gun violence-is no higher in the ...

This review systematically investigates rates of physical intimate partner violence for both sexes in international samples. Surveys that accessed nationally representative samples, used gender inclusive methodology and neutral contexts are reviewed to determine 12 month and lifetime victimization and perpetration rates. Discrepancies between international rates, and the impact that gender equality may have upon these differences is also investigated. Electronic databases were systematically searched to identify surveys that met inclusion criteria. Eleven surveys were reviewed. Of these, Family Violence surveys had the highest methodological quality and showed equal rates for both sexes. Surveys of lesser quality typically showed higher female victimization and male perpetration rates. Countries at the extremes of gender empowerment measure scores differed in their patterns of rates. Gender equality in the US was associated with symmetry for the sexes, and inequality in Uganda associated with higher female victimization. However, as countries tended to use different methods to investigate the problem it was not possible to compare the effects of gender equality on differences in international rates of IPV. It is concluded that survey methodology needs to be consistent across nations, and specifically target family violence if true rates are to be determined and compared across the globe.

“…Obtaining reports from the male and female partners in the same relationship is an essential first step for research addressing IPV gender symmetry (Straus, 2006) and obtaining accurate prevalence estimates (Szinovacz & Egley, 1995). The available evidence, however, suggests that agreement between partners on the occurrence of IPV is low.…”

This study assessed level of agreement about the occurrence of specific acts of past-year male-tofemale partner violence (MFPV) and female-to-male partner violence (FMPV) among a sample of unionized construction industry workers (95% male) and their spouses or cohabiting partners who completed separate and confidential telephone interviews on IPV, work, job stress, and drinking (n=897 couples). Past-year IPV was measured with the Physical Assault subscale of the revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2). Level of agreement was assessed with Cohen's kappa statistic. Lower-bound estimates (based on male-female agreement that an IPV event occurred) and upperbound estimates (based on reports that an IPV event had occurred, whether corroborated or not) were calculated for MFPV, FMPV, and any past-year IPV. Results indicated that item-specific agreement between partners for most IPV behaviors was low (kappa < .40). The following lowerand upper-bound rates were estimated: 6.7% and 21.2% for MFPV; 7.1% and 24.2 for FMPV; and 10.1% and 30.2% for any partner-to-partner violence. The findings suggest that single-point estimates of IPV prevalence are biased, and that lower-and upper-bound estimates of IPV using collateral reports should be calculated when possible. Additionally, these estimates underscore the importance of conducting IPV research among understudied populations, such as working-class couples, that appear to be at elevated risk for IPV.
