Thai Police Officers’ Attitudes Toward Intimate Partner Violence and Victim Blaming: The Influence of Sexism and Female Gender Roles

Abstract: Police officers are typically the first responders when victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) report abuse. Therefore, police officers’ attitudes toward IPV and victim blaming are crucial. This study aimed to observe how police officers’ sexist attitudes affect their perspectives on IPV and their victim-blaming attitudes, depending on the gender role exhibited by the victim. The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory was used to classify 139 Thai male police officers into four groups of sexism: hostile sexist, benev… Show more

“…Therefore, many male victims only seek help by reaching out to family and friends for support rather than actively trying to leave the situation (Douglas & Hines, 2011). This approach is likely because victims of IPV who have had their experiences minimized when they tried to seek help are significantly less likely to seek help again in the future (Kruahiran et al, 2022). Researching the experiences of male victims of IPV may help to raise awareness, thus leading to male victims being provided with better resources and treatment when they do seek help.…”

“…Con respecto a la policía, al igual que con otras profesiones dominadas por hombres, como el ejército, diversas investigaciones han demostrado cómo el género organiza el comportamiento de hombres y mujeres en este primer momento (García-Moreno et al, 2013;Kruahiran et al, 2020). Ahí, aunque factores legales, como la gravedad del delito y la solidez de la evidencia juegan un papel importante en las decisiones de procesar una denuncia o no, igual o más importancia tienen los factores extralegales, como las características personales de las víctimas y los delincuentes (Spohn et al, 2015, p. 94).…”

“…Variados trabajos evidencian que las investigaciones policiales, desde etapas preliminares, en casos de violencia basada en género se guían por estereotipos que hacen a algunas víctimas-sobrevivientes más creíbles que otras (Garza & Franklin, 2021;Hotaling & Buzawa, 2003;Kruahiran et al, 2020). Por ejemplo, se ha demostrado que el consumo de alcohol por parte de las víctimas influye la respuesta policial en su tendencia a considerar que estas son parcialmente responsables de su victimización, lo que reduce las posibilidades de adoptar una respuesta energética, así como las posibilidades de llamar a un fiscal o arrestar al sospechoso (Goodman-Delahunty & Graham, 2011;Venema, 2019).…”
