Intimate Partner Violence in Late Life: An Analysis of National News Reports

Abstract: Intimate partner violence (IPV) in late life takes various forms including physical harm, sexual assault, and murder. Using national newspaper reports of IPV among elders, we identified the types of violence reported most frequently in media and examined how the abuse was conceptualized by reporters. We found that most cases of IPV reported involved murder, with men as perpetrators and women as victims. Caregiving stress and health problems were frequently cited as contributing factors in the cases. Interpreti… Show more

“…Regarding other predictors of the risk of domestic violence with regard to the aggressor in the older population, the papers reviewed itemise, amongst others, the stress suffered as a consequence of migration (Liles et al, 2012;Suelves et al, 2010), and the stress related to caring, and even to health problems (Roberto et al, 2013b).…”

“…Another striking feature is the way in which this problem is reflected in the media, which focuses itself fundamentally in reporting episodes of violence in which there are murders, with the men featuring as the authors and the women as victims, isolated from the real problematic of everyday existence (Roberto, McCann and Brossoie, 2013b).…”

“…W analizowanej literaturze autorzy skupiają się nad osobą starszą jako ofiarą przemocy. Zarówno polskie, jak i międzynarodowe doniesienia przynoszą informacje, że osobami zdecydowanie częściej stosującymi przemoc byli mężczyźni [21,31]. Taki sam stan rzeczy wykazano w badaniach własnych, gdzie prawie 90% osób starszych stosujących przemoc to przedstawiciele płci męskiej, natomiast kobiety stanowiły 10,4%.…”

“…Par exemple, elles se caractérisent généralement par le rapport d'intimité qui unit la victime à l'auteur de la violence, par la différence de pouvoir entre l'auteur de la violence et la victime ainsi que par les conséquences néfastes engendrées chez la victime. Toutefois, les rapports de pouvoir ne caractérisent pas tous les types de violence au sein de la famille, certains pouvant découler davantage du stress ou des conditions de vie difficiles auxquels sont confrontés les parents (Sprang et al, 2005 ;Stith et al, 2011) ou l'aidant naturel dans le cas des personnes âgées (Roberto et al, 2013). Le fait d'étudier les liens entre les violences conjugales et d'autres formes de violence familiale permet de prendre en considération les nombreuses situations où les violences se présentent de manière concomitante au sein d'une même famille (Chang et al, 2011 ;Finkelhor et al, 2011 ;Goddard et Bedi, 2010 ;Clément et al, 2013 ;Margolin et al, 2009).…”
