“…Correction-educational programs used so far usually refer to a psychological type of one kind of offender, while their typology (Rode, 2010a;Spidel et al, 2013) needs psychological-therapeutic programs, which tend to change their various patterns of behavior conditioned by different psychological profiles. Psychological aid should be provided in two stages: stage one -basic -the therapist (1) focuses on offender's violent behaviors and his/her responsibility; and (2) finds the information about the offender's perception of particular event, i.e.…”

The present research attempts to establish specific risk factors of domestic violence occurrences, and to pinpoint the gender-specific differences that are their main predictors. According to the subject literature, four categories of variables (personality, temperamental, socialisation, and demographic features) may constitute significant predictors of violent behaviours. participants and procedure The selection criterion was the type of crime. Prospective research subjects were men and women convicted under article 207 paragraph 1.2 the Penal Code for abuse of family members.

“…Men are more likely than women to perpetrate IPV, though moderate-intensity woman-to-man violence does occur (Nayback-Beebe & Yoder, 2012). Furthermore, in a recent study, 95.4% of women admitted to perpetrating emotional or verbal violence and 28.3% admitted to committing at least one act of physical violence (Spidel, Greaves, Nicholls, Goldenson, & Dutton, 2013). Though women commit IPV, the physical injuries they inflict on males tend to be less severe than the physical injuries males inflict on females (Dobash & Dobash, 2004).…”

This study experimentally examines the effects of participant sex, perpetrator sex, and severity of violence on perceptions of intimate partner violence (IPV) seriousness, sympathy toward the victim, and punishment preferences for the perpetrator. Participants (N = 449) were randomly assigned to a condition, exposed to a composite news story, and then completed a survey. Ratings of seriousness of IPV for stories with male perpetrators were significantly higher than ratings of seriousness for stories with female perpetrators. Men had significantly higher sympathy for female victims in any condition than for male victims in the weak or strong severity of violence conditions. Men's sympathy for male victims in the fatal severity of violence condition did not differ from their sympathy for female victims. Women had the least sympathy for female victims in the weak severity condition and men in the weak or strong severity conditions. Women reported significantly higher sympathy for female victims in the strong and fatal severity of violence conditions. Women's ratings of sympathy for male victims in the fatal severity of violence condition were statistically indistinguishable from any other group. Participants reported stronger punishment preferences for male perpetrators and this effect was magnified among men. Theoretical implications are presented with attention provided to practical considerations about support for public health services.

“…Personality disorders (e.g., BPD and antisocial personality disorder) and impulsivity are highly correlated with IPV, for both sexes in heterosexual or same-sex relationships, in clinical and nonclinical settings (Hines, 2008;Spidel, Greaves, Nicholls, Goldenson & Dutton, 2013). A typical characteristic of individuals with BPD is that they seldom take responsibility for their behavior as exemplified in the case study.…”

Child abuse often coexists with intimate partner violence. However, limited studies incorporate both phenomena in a single study. Moreover, the examination of female-on-male violence is an important development. Hence, an intrinsic case study of domestic violence is presented to provide insights regarding the nature and impact of female-perpetrated violence.The research approach was qualitative and demonstrated that a model for abusive behavior seems to be similar for both sexes. The data revealed theoretical trends such as the reality of an intergenerational transmission of violence into adulthood, as well as abusive partners presenting with borderline traits.
