Partner Abuse

Over the last 50 years, there has developed a wealth of literature that has explored the experiences of victims of intimate partner violence (IPV). This has demonstrated the adverse impact IPV has, including the impact on both female (e.g., Sarkar, 2008), and male victims (e.g., Próspero, 2007) and those within the LGBTQ+ community (e.g., Reuter et al., 2017). Over these 50 years, there has also been the development of key legislation, policy, and services to support these victims and reduce the prevalence of IPV. A comprehensive review of victim services was provided by Eckhardt and colleagues in 2013 as part of the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge project. The aim of the current article is to expand on and update this review with an international focus, drawing on both the United Kingdom and United States. Specifically, we discuss current legislation and policy and how this informs practice, what services and resources are available for victims in the two countries, and what interventions are available and what we know of their effectiveness. A final aim is to explore one of Eckahrdt et al.’s specific recommendations about what exists to support “underserved“ populations, such as men and those in the LGBTQ+ community.

“…Research on help-seeking among queer sexual assault survivors is limited, with most research focusing on the criminal justice system (e.g., Guadalupe-Diaz & Jasinski, 2017) and intimate partner violence (e.g., Bermea et al, 2019;Calton et al, 2015). These studies indicate that queer survivors can be reluctant to use formal resources, especially when associated with the criminal justice system, as these institutions have a history of homophobic structures and practices (Guadalupe-Diaz & Yglesias, 2013) that can "make it worse" and retraumatize LGBTQ survivors (Jordan et al, 2019). Queer survivors face discrimination, harassment, and violence from police when reporting and the legitimacy of their assaults are often questioned, making it difficult to obtain the resources desired (Calton et al, 2015;Guadalupe-Diaz & Jasinski, 2017).…”

Queer women are at high risk of college sexual victimization, but they face barriers to formal support services. As a result, informal support is critical. This study uses data from 40 open-ended interviews to explore family members’ reactions to queer women's disclosures and examine whether their family is a reliable source of informal support. Findings indicate that family reactions are often more harmful than helpful. In comparison to research focused on heterosexual survivors, we find family reactions to be more extreme and disparaging of queer survivors’ sexual identities. In fact, family members’ negative reactions may pose barriers to accessing formal services.

“…Queer survivors often face barriers to leaving abusive relationships that cisgender and heterosexual survivors do not. Broadly, there are limited IPV-related services that queer survivors view as welcoming and affirming, and therefore, they might feel their options are limited in accessing formal supports (Jordan et al, 2020). A queer survivor might be further hesitant to reach out to formal resources out of fear that it will stigmatize queer relationships as being dysfunctional or unhealthy (Hassouneh & Glass, 2008;Turell & Herrmann, 2008).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is multifaceted and encompasses a number of acts and experiences between romantic or sexual partners (Breiding et al., 2015). Throughout this chapter, we use the term partner or partners when referencing IPV to be inclusive of multiple relationship types. Generally, IPV refers to psychological, physical, and sexual violence as well as stalking. Psychological violence includes verbal abuse (e.g., name-calling, belittling), systematic isolation, economic control, making threats, and playing mind games (e.g., gaslighting). Physical violence can include hitting, slapping, hair pulling, and punching, as well as more severe tactics such as hitting a partner hard enough to leave a mark, choking, slamming a partner against something hard, or throwing objects. Stalking includes repeated and unwanted contact-in person, through the mail, or electronically (e.g., over the phone, text messages, social media). It can be directed toward the victim but might also include their loved ones, such as friends, family members, and pets. Stalking can also escalate into physical violence.
