“…These findings support recent literature that has shown that many participants do not report abuse to law enforcement or seek IPV support services following victimization (Espinoza et al, 2022a;Satyen et al, 2019), which led to a lack of accessing IPV support resources (Espinoza et al, 2022b;Gonzalez, 2021). The study is important as it supports the work of Gonzalez-Guarda et al (2011), who found that many women who experienced sexual abuse by a partner described being forced to have sex with their spouses because of their gender roles.…”

“…The study is important as it supports the work of Gonzalez-Guarda et al (2011), who found that many women who experienced sexual abuse by a partner described being forced to have sex with their spouses because of their gender roles. Much like in other studies, participants also experienced manipulation, verbal threats, control, and harassment (Ahrens et al, 2010;Espinoza et al, 2022b;Thomas et al, 2019). Violence reported is in line with Rodriguez et al (2015), who note that perpetrators experienced a loss of threat to their masculinity which serves to enact violence to maintain control in the relationship.…”

“…This study's findings shed light on what it is like for Latinas in the RGV to cope with IPV. This group of Latinas differs significantly from other Latinas who have been subjected to IPV in previous studies (Espinoza et al, 2022a;Espinoza et al, 2022b). In this exploratory study, all participants were college-educated, and yet they experienced IPV victimization.…”

“…Victim service providers and domestic violence agencies must create a level of transparency and dialogue with their communities and law enforcement to make certain survivors are provided the confidence and support to make an informed decision about their situation (Espinoza et al, 2022a). There needs to be an expansion of victim services beyond just arresting perpetrators through de-escalation and sensitivity training (Dutton et al, 2015;Espinoza et al, 2022b). It is also important to improve the ways of including the community in policing-oriented responses and addressing the needs of IPV victims through interventions (Espinoza et al, 2022a(Espinoza et al, , 2022bLockwood & Prohaska, 2015).…”

“…Much of the research on IPV victimization has been on White and Black women rather than on Latino women [also referred to as Latinas] (Cannon et al, 2019;Hardesty & Ogolsky, 2020;Lacey et al, 2015). This is despite the fact that Latinas experience IPV at disproportionately greater rates than non-Hispanic White women, which contributes to the health risks associated with IPV (Bosch et al, 2017;Espinoza et al, 2022a;Espinoza et al, 2022b).…”

<i>Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a severe public health and criminal justice issue that disproportionately affects women more than men. This sought to explore Latina experiences of IPV in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). Twelve Latina IPV survivors from the RGV, ages 24 to 40 years old, were interviewed using purposive and snowball sampling methods. Several primary themes were discovered: </i><i>types of abuse; perceived reasons for the abuse; education and economic insecurity; why stay or leave an abusive relationship; the criminal justice system’s role; and self-blaming. All participants (n = 12) were college educated and endured IPV victimization at the hands of their male significant others. This study should be replicated on a larger scale to determine if the results are representative of all RGV IPV victims. These findings have implications for positively affecting IPV prevention, services, and interventions to reduce Latina IPV victimizations in the RGV. </i>

This study explores the differences in reporting of instrumental identity theft to law enforcement among United States (US)-born White, non-Hispanic (NH), US-born racial/ethnic minority, and immigrant victims. Data from the 2021 National Crime Victimization Survey Identity Theft Supplement were used to complete descriptive and logistic regression analyses. Reporting of instrumental identity theft to law enforcement was least frequent among immigrant victims and most frequent among US-born racial/ethnic minority victims. Immigrant victims of instrumental identity theft were significantly less likely than US-born racial/ethnic minority victims to report their victimization to law enforcement. The most common reason for victims among all immigration groups to not report their instrumental identity theft victimization to law enforcement was another organization taking care of the issue. The percentage of victims who did not think about reporting their victimization to law enforcement was significantly higher among immigrant victims of instrumental identity theft and significantly lower among US-born White, NH victims. Implications of these findings are discussed.
