“…Domestic violence is a major public health issue worldwide (WHO, 2010), and has been estimated to account for up to 7% of the overall burden of disease among women, mostly due to its impact on mental ill health (Vos et al 2006). Much of this violence is at the hands of partners, often referred to as intimate partner violence (IPV) (Povey et al 2008). Although similar numbers of men and women report experiencing at least one episode of IPV, women are at greater risk of being a victim of repeated coercive, sexual and severe physical violence (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000; Howard et al 2010 a , b ).…”

Aims. To assess the extent to which being a victim of intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with psychiatric disorders in men and women. Methods. A stratified multistage random sample was used in the third English psychiatric morbidity survey. Psychiatric disorders were measured by the Clinical Interview Schedule (Revised) and screening questionnaires. IPV was measured using British Crime Survey questions. Results. 18.7% (95% CI 17.1-20.4; n = 595 of 3197) of men had experienced some form of IPV compared with 27.8% of women (95% CI 26.2-29.4; n = 1227 of 4206; p < 0.001). IPV was associated with all disorders measured (except eating disorders in men). Physical IPV was significantly linked to psychosis and with substance and alcohol disorders in men and women, but significant associations with common mental disorders (CMDs), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and eating disorders were restricted to women. Emotional IPV was associated with CMDs in men and women. Conclusions. The high prevalence of experiences of partner violence, and strength of the association with every disorder assessed, suggests enquiry about partner violence is important in identifying a potential risk and maintenance factor for psychiatric disorders, and to ascertain safety, particularly in women as they are at greatest risk of being victims of violence.

“…A variety of firearm types were used in reported incidents and these are summarized in Fig. 2 (1). Despite firearm offenses accounting for only 0.2% of the total crime volume in England and Wales (2006/07) (1), the gravity of their nature means that they must not be overlooked and it must be seen as paramount that forensic evidence involved in such cases is as reliable and accurate as practicable.…”

A comprehensive review of the scientific literature on gunshot residue (GSR) is presented. Aspects of both inorganic and organic GSR are discussed, from formation and distribution, to sample collection, preparation, and analysis using a variety of techniques. The interpretation of GSR results is also considered including issues surrounding the contamination, distribution, and transfer of GSR. Potential problems with ulterior sources of GSR like particles have been reported in the literature. For example, particles from environmental and occupational sources have been highlighted as exhibiting similar chemical and morphological characteristics to GSR. These findings are put into context with regard to interpreting samples. A move toward a ''case by case'' approach is argued to be more preferable to a ''formal'' classification system where possible. The analysis of both inorganic and organic compositions of residue samples as well as morphological considerations is considered to be a more ideal approach to GSR analysis, whereever practicable.

“…The adverse impacts of DSVA are plentiful and varied both for those experiencing DSVA, and for the wider society. DSVA affects physical health [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], mental health [4,[14][15][16], financial stability, employment, education [17], homelessness [18], relationships, and substance dependence [19]. DSVA also puts significant demand on services, such as the criminal justice system [20], health and social services [21] and police [22].…”

Background Domestic and sexual violence and abuse (DSVA) is prevalent in the UK, with wide-ranging impacts both on individuals and society. However, to date, there has been no systematic synthesis of the evidence for the effectiveness of UK-based support interventions and services for victim-survivors of DSVA. This review will aim to systematically collate, synthesise and quality assess the evidence regarding the effectiveness of UK support interventions and services targeted at those who have experienced DSVA. The review will use findings of a preliminary scoping review, as well as input from stakeholders representing domestic and sexual violence third sector organisations to identify and prioritise the most relevant outcomes to focus on. Methods We will undertake a systematic search for peer-reviewed literature in MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Social Policy and Practice, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS), Sociological abstracts and SSCI. Grey literature will be identified by searching grey literature databases, circulating a call for evidence to local and national DSVA charities and organisations, and targeted website searching. Two reviewers will independently perform study selection and quality appraisal, with data extraction undertaken by one reviewer and checked for accuracy by a second reviewer. Narrative synthesis will be conducted, with meta-analysis if possible. Discussion Existing individual studies and evaluations have reported positive impacts of support interventions and services for those who have experienced DSVA. Thus, it is expected that this review and synthesis will provide robust and conclusive evidence of these effects. It will also allow comparisons to be made between different types of support interventions and services, to inform policy makers and funders regarding the most effective ways of reducing domestic and sexual violence and abuse and its impacts.
