“…Similar patterns was found in the USA, as the CDC reported significant higher lifetime prevalence for female (32.9%) than male (28.1%) [22]. Our results are consistent with the global trend of high lifetime prevalence of domestic violence against women victims [23–26].…”

This study explores both epidemiological and spatial characteristics of domestic and community interpersonal violence. We evaluated three years of violent trauma data in the medium-sized city of Campina Grande in North-Eastern Brazil. 3559 medical and police records were analysed and 2563 cases were included to identify socioeconomic and geographic patterns. The associations between sociodemographic, temporal, and incident characteristics and domestic violence were evaluated using logistic regression. Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS), we mapped victims’ household addresses to identify spatial patterns. We observed a higher incidence of domestic violence among female, divorced, or co-habitant persons when the violent event was perpetrated by males. There was only a minor chance of occurrence of domestic violence involving firearms. 8 out of 10 victims of domestic violence were women and the female/male ratio was 3.3 times greater than that of community violence (violence not occurring in the home). Unmarried couples were twice as likely to have a victim in the family unit (OR = 2.03), compared to married couples. Seven geographical hotspots were identified. The greatest density of hotspots was found in the East side of the study area and was spatially coincident with the lowest average family income. Aggressor sex, marital status, and mechanism of injury were most associated with domestic violence, and low-income neighbourhoods were coincident with both domestic and non-domestic violence hotspots. These results provide further evidence that economic poverty may play a significant role in interpersonal, and particularly domestic violence.

ÖzetAmaç: Ülkemiz hukuk siteminde eşlerin birbirlerine karşı cinsel davranışlarının suç teşkil edip edemeyeceği hususu uzun yıllar tartış-ma konusu olmuştur. 01.06.2005 tarihinde yürürlüğe giren Türk Ceza Kanunu'nu ile eşe karşı cinsel saldırı suç olarak kabul edilmiştir. Ancak Türk Ceza Kanunu'nda yapılan değişiklik ile ruhsal değerlendirmenin geri plana itildiği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada evlilik içi cinsel saldı-rı olguları değerlendirilmesi, ruhsal bulguların öneminin anlaşılması ve sunulması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: 2011-2016 yılları arasındaki 6 yıllık dönemde Eskişehir Adli Tıp Şube Müdürlüğü'ne müracaat eden, evlilik içi cinsel saldırı olguları çalışma kapsamına alındı. Ruhsal değerlendirme bulgularının önemi anlaşılmaya çalışıldı.Bulgular: 6 yılık dönemde 27 evlilik içi cinsel saldırı olgusu mü-racaat etmiştir. Mağdurların % 48,2'sinin 17-24 yaş grubunda olduğu, yalnızca 2 olgunun (% 7,4) yüksek öğrenim mezunu olduğu belirlendi. Kanun değişikliği sonrasında sadece 1 olgunun müracaat ettiği saptandı. Olguların yalnızca 9'unda (% 33,3) fizik veya genital muayene ile bulgu elde edildi Ruhsal değerlendirmeler sonucu olguların tümünde, cinsel saldırı ile ilişkili ruhsal bulgular saptandı. Ruhsal bulgular olmadan olguların 3' te 2'sinde herhangi bir delil saptanamayacağı ve dolayısıyla dava açılamayacağı tespit edildi.Sonuç: Ruhsal değerlendirme bulgularının olmadığı cinsel saldırı muayenesinin eksik olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle ilgili kanun maddesinin yeniden düzenlenmesi gerekmektedir. Ruhsal değerlendirme bulguları, cinsel saldırı için tanı koydurucu olarak kabul edilmeli ve kanun maddesinde açıkça belirtilmelidir. Tüm şehirlerde gerek çocuklar ve gerekse erişkinler için adli tıp ve psikiyatri uzmanlarının birlikte ça-lışabileceği birimler acilen kurulmalıdır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Cinsel saldırı; Türk Ceza Kanunu; Ruhsal değerlendirme. AbstractObjective: Whether spousal rape is a misconduct or not has been a controversial topic for a long time in the jurisdictional system of our country. Sexual assault against one's spouse has been declared as a criminal act by the change in the Turkish Criminal Code on 1st June 2005. However, we think that psychiatric evaluation of the victim has been ignored by the change in the related penal code in 2014. In this study our aim is to evaluate sexual assaults in marriage and understand and present the importance of psychological findings.Materials and Methods: Data of the sexual assault cases by one's spouse during the six years period between 2011 and 2016 who were evaluated by Eskişehir Office of Council of Forensic Medicine were analyzed with their psychiatric evaluation findings.Results: In 6 years 27 spousal rape victims were evaluated. Among them, 48.2 % were in the 17 to 24 years' age group. Only two (7.4 %) had a university degree. Only one case was evaluated after the Turkish Criminal Code has changed. In only 9 (%33.3) cases, findings of the assault were observed by physical and genital examination. By psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric findings relate...
