“…This apparently contradictory fact may be explained by the following observation. Studies analysing the modus operandi of femicides have found that the majority are planned and carried out at one of the partner’s homes or in places where no one else is nearby to help the victim (Aguilar, 2017; Company and Soria, 2016). The fact of having a new partner may deter this class of abusers from committing severe aggression.…”

In order to study the differences between severe intimate partner violence (S-IPV) and less severe intimate partner violence (LS-IPV), reports by 16,385 women who had suffered some type of abuse in 2016 and 2017 were analysed by means of the Police Risk Assessment Questionnaire. Chi-square tests indicate that S-IPV aggressors present criminological features to a significantly greater extent and are more likely to perpetrate various types of violence against their partners (for example, sexual aggression, death threats, degrading treatment, and controlling behaviour). Their behaviours seem to depend more on their beliefs and attitudes than on any possible psychopathological disturbance. Likewise, the victims of S-IPV are significantly more likely to report substance abuse, isolation from their environment, and vulnerability due to a mental disorder or disability; furthermore, they are less likely to report their abusers and continue with the judicial process. Therefore, efforts must be focused on fighting isolation, guaranteeing access to assistance and support services, and protecting victims during the processing of the criminal investigation. Professionals must also be alert to conflicts between partners linked to emotional breakdown and apply the relevant risk-management strategies, especially in cases with a history of mistreatment of women and an increase in violence severity.

“…La prevalencia de violencia previa en los HCP presenta un amplio margen, en función de los estudios, que se sitúa entre el 30-70% (Aguilar, 2017;Bridger et al, 2017;Campbell et al, 2007;Flynn, Gask, Appleby y Shaw, 2016). En un sentido paralelo, estudios de metaanálisis muestran cómo algunos trastornos psiquiátricos están asociados con una alta prevalencia y mayor riesgo de ejercer y ser víctima de violencia grave por parte de la pareja, tanto en hombres como en mujeres (Oram, Trevillion, Khalifeh, Feder y Howard, 2014).…”

Psychosocial Intervention, 27, 95-104. https://doi.La violencia contra la mujer en las relaciones de pareja (VCP) es un problema de primer orden en España y con amplia repercusión en todos los sectores de nuestra sociedad. La Ley Orgánica 1/2004 y el Pacto de Estado contra la Violencia de Género de 2017 son muestra de la importancia que se otorga a este fenómeno, desarrollándose políticas y acciones orientadas a su prevención. En cuanto a su magnitud, se presentan entre 120,000 y 140,000 denuncias anuales por violencia de género según estadísticas del Consejo General del Poder Judicial. La «victimización revelada» en macroencuestas indica que el 10.3% de las mujeres de 16 o más años ha sufrido violencia física de su pareja o expareja en algún momento de su vida, sexual en el 8.1% y psicológica en el 25.4%, siendo informada en el 78.01% de los casos por la propia víctima. Sin embargo, estos datos muestran parte del problema, puesto que las denuncias recogidas por la policía parece que solo suponen un 26.83% de los casos, más otro 1.7% adicional de denuncias en el juzgado, existiendo una elevada «cifra negra» (Delegación del Gobierno para la Violencia de Género, 2015). En suma, existe gran desconocimiento sobre el volumen real de violencia sobre la mujer en la pareja, que parece oscilar entre el 11 y el 12.5% a lo largo de la vida (Díez-Ripollés, Cerezo y Benítez, 2017).La forma más grave y extrema de VCP es el homicidio, que ocasiona importantes repercusiones en el entorno de la víctima y del h t t p : / / j o u r n a l s. c o p m a d r i d. o rg / p i Correspondencia: jjlossorio@gmail.com (J. J. López-Ossorio). R E S U M E NLa prevención de la violencia contra la pareja supone un problema que ha suscitado gran interés a nivel internacional. El homicidio de pareja es el exponente más grave, aunque su prevalencia sea baja y su etiología compleja. Este trabajo revisa brevemente la descripción del problema desde la perspectiva de género y la existencia de asimetría, la perspectiva de la violencia y su descripción de factores de riesgo diferenciales y el modelo ecológico que relaciona variables personales, contextuales y comunitarias, presentando una propuesta más integradora. Se describen los estudios que analizan y comparan perfiles de homicidas, así como la situación en materia de evaluación del riesgo, todo ello con especial atención a las implicaciones para el contexto español. Por último, por su relevancia se discute la existencia de tipologías de homicidas y perfiles más próximos a patrones o dinámicas suicidas (en los homicidios diádicos y los familicidios). La información disponible pone de manifiesto la necesidad de ampliar el estudio de los homicidas de pareja y la dificultad de anticipar muchos de estos casos. Taxonomy of homicides of women i...

“…Albeit with some exceptions, the mentally ill type can be compared to the pathological, as can the undercontrolled/dysregulated to the violent, the chronic batterer to the pathologically violent, and the overcontrolled/catathymic to the normalised. In Spain, the study by Aguilar (2017) only distinguished between the profile of the normalised and the antisocial perpetrator of femicide. By reducing the number of types of murderers of women to two, it seems that the main discriminating factor is that of having a less socially integrated lifestyle, whereby the existence of addictions, a prior criminal background and intimate partner violence are associated with the antisocial type, and suicidal behaviours and mental disorders with the normalised type, relegating the dimension of pathology to second place.…”

“…In Spain, there have only been two studies on typologies of perpetrators of femicide. In the first, Aguilar (2017) analysed 189 cases of committed and attempted femicide, classifying 70.4% of the perpetrators as normalised and the remaining 29.6% as antisocial, based on the definition provided by previous studies (e.g. Dobash et al, 2007).…”

This investigation studied the interaction between seven risk factors included in the police risk assessment of the VioGén System and found that these factors formed groups based on the dimensions of violence and psychopathology. The 171 femicides analysed were categorised into four groups: normalised (23.4%), violent (25.7%), pathological (18.7%), and pathological/violent (32.2%). These groups exhibited significant differences concerning their psychosocial profile and relationship dynamics. One of the main findings is the identification of the pathological type that had not been detected in previous typologies, thus highlighting the importance of the psychological factor when classifying the perpetrators of femicide. These results have important practical implications, as the classification of the aggressor could be a preliminary step taken before the risk assessment, which would make it possible to individualise predictions and improve the protection of the victims as well as the therapies and intervention programmes.
