When State Violence Comes Home: From Criminal Legal System Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence in a Time of Mass Incarceration

Abstract: Exceptionally high rates of partner violence perpetration are evident among men returning from prison. Two bodies of scholarship, one on family stress and another on exposure to state violence, each suggest that criminal legal system exposure could promote partner violence perpetration via changes in men’s behavioral health and interpersonal approach and in couples’ conflict dynamics. Such relationships have not been tested in quantitative research. Structural equation models were fitted to longitudinal, coupl… Show more

“…The current analysis specifically suggests that racial/ethnic subgroups may differ by specific IPV perpetration behaviors. Also, in contrast to the earlier study, the racial/ethnic group least likely to experience PI (i.e., White persons), and according to other research the group less likely to report significant negative incarceration-related impacts to well-being (McKay, 2022), was the subgroup where significant associations were identified between PI and perpetration of two specific IPV behaviors. Understanding how PI differentially influences later violence perpetration behaviors among specific racial/ethnic subgroups may inform development of tailored prevention and intervention strategies.…”

“…Domestic violence is both a crime in itself and a contributing factor to crime among its victims -female offenders overwhelmingly suffer domestic violence which derails their own rehabilitation (Prison Reform Trust, 2017). When the most serious perpetrators of domestic violence are jailed, over 20% in the UK go on to reoffend within two years of release (Bloomfield & Dixon, 2015), similar to patterns observed internationally (McKay, 2022). Domestic violence is therefore a focus in current criminal justice policy in England and Wales, including legislation that recognises children exposed to domestic violence as direct victims of that abuse (Domestic Abuse Act 2021) and enhanced electronic monitoring of offenders after release to protect victims (Siddique, 2023).…”

“…Once convicted, offenders often attend domestic violence perpetrator programmes (DVPPs), designed to reduce their risk of reoffending, but the effectiveness of these programmes is questionable (Haggård et al, 2017; Vigurs et al, 2016). Likewise, offenders who reduce their drug and alcohol use are not predicted to reduce their offending accordingly unless this is related to a pattern of dysfunctional, chaotic violence and lifestyles (McKay, 2022).…”
