The university campus environment as a protective factor for intimate partner violence against women: An exploratory study

Abstract: Some neighborhood characteristics linked to social disorganization theory have been related to intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). The study of other neighborhood‐level factors that may influence IPVAW risk, however, has received less attention. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of university campuses on IPVAW risk. To conduct the study, IPVAW cases from 2011 to 2013 in the city of Valencia, Spain, were geocoded (n = 1,623). Census block groups were used as the neighborhood analysi… Show more

“…Addressing attitudes towards IPVAW, such as willingness to intervene in cases of IPVAW, and advancing in their conceptualization, measurement, prevalence, and determinants is central to monitoring social changes in such attitudes and to better informing prevention and intervention strategies ( Powell and Webster, 2018 ). Public willingness to intervene in cases of IPVAW reflects the level of tolerance and acceptability of IPVAW, and when these attitudes are held collectively at different levels of aggregation (e.g., social groups, neighborhoods, communities, countries), they are able to create a social climate that can help to legitimize or deter this type of violence ( Browning, 2002 ; Emery et al, 2011 ; Heise, 2011 ; Wright and Benson, 2011 ; Heise and Kotsadam, 2015 ; Voith, 2017 ; Marco et al, 2018 ). For example, a public education strategy should consider targeting those social groups or communities were IPVAW risk is higher, and these attitudes can be more commonly held ( Gracia and Tomás, 2014 ; Gracia et al, 2015a ).…”

“…As for its limitations, this study uses only official cases of CM and IPV, and we cannot generalize our results regarding the overlap of CM and IPV to underreported cases, which is a common issue in both types of family violence [ 12 , 13 ]. Regarding the covariates used in this study, other socioeconomic measures such as rates of unemployment or income, other neighborhood variables linked in other studies to both types of family violence, such as alcohol outlets, and neighborhood processes such as those mentioned above were not available for this study [ 33 , 34 , 72 76 ]. Finally, the results correspond to a European city, and future research should examine the overlap of CM and IPV in other cities that may differ in structure and organization, as well as in other cultural contexts.…”

“…Few studies, on the other hand, have focused on the spatial patterns of violence behind closed doors, such as intimate-partner violence [24][25][26][27], and child abuse and neglect [28][29][30][31][32][33]. Traditionally, intimate-partner violence (IPV) has been considered a special type of crime that occurs behind closed doors, with different characteristics from street-level crime.…”
