“…Indeed, it is possible that differences within any given racial classification are larger than differences between racial groups. In fact, significant differences in the likelihood of SA have been documented across subgroups of Native Americans (Yuan, Koss, Polacca, & Goldman, 2006). Future studies of SA might benefit from further exploring the dynamics of cultural and ethnic differences that exist within racial groups.…”

Female ( n = 5,226) and male ( n = 5,969) U.S. Navy recruits completed a survey assessing their premilitary histories of adult sexual assault (SA), defined as attempted or completed rape since the age of 14. The survey was completed under anonymous or identified conditions. Overall, 39% of women reported premilitary SA victimization and 13% of men admitted premilitary SA perpetration. As predicted, rates were significantly higher in the anonymous than in the identified condition. For the sample of women as a whole, marital status, ethnicity, and family income were associated with SA victimization; for men, only marital status was associated with SA perpetration. Compared to previous college samples, Navy recruits were more likely to have previous SA experience. Given the negative consequences associated with SA victimization and perpetration, the present study reinforces the desirability of developing additional treatment, education, and prevention programs to reduce the occurrence of SA among military recruits.

“…Currently, very few studies examine correlates of IPV in Asian populations (Chang et al, 2009;Leung & Cheung, 2008;Siewert & Flanagan, 2000;Yick, 2000;Yick, Shibusawa, & Agbayani-Siewert, 2000) and even fewer examine Native American populations (Harwell, Moore, & Spence, 2003;Yuan, Koss, Polacca, & Goldman, 2006). Yick and Agbayani-Siewert (2000) determined that those Asian couples that justified violence for particular situations were more likely to be victims or perpetrators of previous violence, and Chang et al (2009) found that immigrant respondents were less likely to report IPV than U.S. born Asian respondents.…”

Domestic Violence Perpetrator Programs: A Proposal for Evidence-Based Standards in the United States

In the United States, the judicial system response to violence between intimate partners, or intimate partner violence (IPV), typically mandates that adjudicated perpetrators complete a batterer intervention program (BIP). The social science data has found that these programs, on the whole, are only minimally effective in reducing rates of IPV. The authors examined the social science literature on the characteristics and efficacy of BIPs. More than 400 studies were considered, including a sweeping, recently conducted survey of BIP directors across the United States and Canada. Results of this review indicate that the limitations of BIPs are due, in large part, to the limitations of current state standards regulating these programs and, furthermore, that these standards are not grounded in the body of empirical research evidence or best practices. The authors, all of whom have considerable expertise in the area of domestic violence perpetrator treatment, conducted an exhaustive investigation of the following key intervention areas: overall effectiveness of BIPs; length of treatment/length of group sessions; number of group participants and number of facilitators; group format and curriculum; assessment protocol and instruments; victim contact; modality of treatment; differential treatment; working with female perpetrators; working with perpetrators in racial and ethnic minority groups; working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) perpetrators; perpetrator treatment and practitioner–client relationships; and required practitioner education and training. Recommendations for evidence-based national BIP standards were made based on findings from this review.

“…While no association was observed with the conjugal or social situation of indigenous women, divorce or separation from a partner, as well as unemployment was associated with a previous history of sexual abuse in non-indigenous women. Yuan, Koss, Polacca, and Goldman (2006) studied physical assault and rape in adults from six U.S. Native tribes.…”

Abstract:Objectives. Few studies have addressed the long-term consequences of adverse childhood experiences among women in Oceania, in particular among indigenous women. This paper aims to report prevalences of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and to asses the negative sexual Conclusions and practice implications. The findings show that in all ethnic communities of New Caledonia, a history of child sexual abuse is not rare among women. They also shed light on the long term consequences of CSA, suggesting that the effect of CSA may differ according to ethnic membership and subsequent social stratification and gender norms. 2Efforts to break the silence around violence against girls and establish a stronger foundation are required in New Caledonia. Prevention programs on violence against women and sexual health that take into account the cultural and social heterogeneity are needed.
