“…Working on the assumption that it is the former and given that the PSAs come largely from NPOs and government organizations committed to gender equity and change, it is worth considering how Latin America might lean into other strategies, which engage community members more successfully. As the literature has shown, machismo typifies Latin American culture (Gherardi, 2016;Rondon, 2003;Smith et al, 2015;Walby et al, 2017). Thus, Latin American men are typified by a need to dominate women and show social superiority, no matter the cost (Lamas, 1996;Rondon, 2003).…”

“…In other words, showing women as victims feeds into machismo culture (Arteaga-Barba et al, 2021). In the Latin American context, women may indeed be socialized with the "Marianist" ideal of submission and male dominance (Gherardi, 2016;Rondon, 2003;Smith et al, 2015;Walby et al, 2017); yet, as Brown (1995) and Marcus (1992) suggest, it would be empowering for women to see themselves as survivors. It is time to turn the tables on men and empower women.…”

“…On the other hand, machismo cultures socialize women to adhere to the "Marianist" ideal, with the Virgin Mary as their role model (Rondon, 2003). Women are socialized to be submissive, self-denying, contemplative, and accepting of male dominance (Gherardi, 2016;Smith et al, 2015;Walby et al, 2017). Perilla (1999) explains that inside Latin American machismo culture women must be obedient, emotionally caring, and the family care-givers and guardian of the home, which includes staying at home once there are children.…”

This study considers the role that public service announcements (PSAs) play in addressing violence against women (VAW) in Latin America. Using content analysis, the study examines 407 PSAs about VAW from 20 Latin American countries. The results show that 62.3% of the PSAs encourage bystanders to denounce violence while portraying women as victims in 48.8% of the PSAs. However, 71.7% of PSAs did not include a helpline or how to report the crime, only 11.8% of the PSAs have non-narrative, or factual information, about VAW, and just 6.4% engage in compelling narrative messaging or storytelling.

“…IPVP is gendered, with higher prevalence of IPVP among men compared with women 4 (although not in all studies 5 ) and men perpetrating more frequent and severe violence. 6 IPVP is more common among those with hazardous alcohol and substance use, 7,8 and among people with other forms of previous offending behaviour (e.g. criminal justice involvement 9 ).…”

Intimate partner violence perpetration and mental health service use in England: analysis of nationally representative survey data

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Intimate partner violence perpetration (IPVP) is associated with psychiatric disorders, but an association with mental health service use has not been fully established and is relevant for policy. Mental health service contact by perpetrators of intimate partner violence presents an opportunity for reducing harmful behaviours. Aims To examine the association between IPVP and mental health service use. Method Analysis of national probability sample data from the 2014 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, testing for associations between lifetime IPVP and mental health service use. We assessed the impact of missing data with multiple imputation and examined misreporting using probabilistic bias analysis. Results The prevalence of reported lifetime IPVP was similar for men (8.0%) and women (8.6%). Before adjustments, IPVP was associated with mental health service use (odds ratio (OR) for any mental health service use in the past year for men: 2.8 (95% CI: 1.8–4.2), for women: 2.8 (95% CI: 2.1–3.8)). Adjustments for intimate partner violence victimisation and other life adversities had an attenuative influence. Associations remained on restricting comparisons with those without criminal justice involvement (OR for any mental health service use in the past year for men: 2.9 (95% CI: 1.7–4.8), for women: 2.3 (95% CI: 1.7–3.2)). Conclusion The strong association of IPVP with mental health service use is partly attributable to the concurrent presence of intimate partner violence victimisation and other life adversities. Efforts to improve the identification and assessment of IPVP in mental health services could benefit population health.

“…Despite these figures, accurately quantifying the prevalence of IPV is difficult (Walby et al, 2017). Much abuse goes unreported due to shame, bias, and unawareness (Stark, 2009).…”

A Systematic Literature Review of the Use of Computational Text Analysis Methods in Intimate Partner Violence Research

et al. 2023

Purpose Computational text mining methods are proposed as a useful methodological innovation in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) research. Text mining can offer researchers access to existing or new datasets, sourced from social media or from IPV-related organisations, that would be too large to analyse manually. This article aims to give an overview of current work applying text mining methodologies in the study of IPV, as a starting point for researchers wanting to use such methods in their own work. Methods This article reports the results of a systematic review of academic research using computational text mining to research IPV. A review protocol was developed according to PRISMA guidelines, and a literature search of 8 databases was conducted, identifying 22 unique studies that were included in the review. Results The included studies cover a wide range of methodologies and outcomes. Supervised and unsupervised approaches are represented, including rule-based classification (n = 3), traditional Machine Learning (n = 8), Deep Learning (n = 6) and topic modelling (n = 4) methods. Datasets are mostly sourced from social media (n = 15), with other data being sourced from police forces (n = 3), health or social care providers (n = 3), or litigation texts (n = 1). Evaluation methods mostly used a held-out, labelled test set, or k-fold Cross Validation, with Accuracy and F1 metrics reported. Only a few studies commented on the ethics of computational IPV research. Conclusions Text mining methodologies offer promising data collection and analysis techniques for IPV research. Future work in this space must consider ethical implications of computational approaches.
