“…We did find corroboration of our reassault categories using capture-recapture analysis (Gondolf, Chang, & LaPorte, 1999), and cross-tabulations with injury and impacts. However, an attempt to correlate the pattern of abuse conveyed in the women's accounts of violence did not substantially correlate with our reassault outcomes (Gondolf & Beeman, 1999). Further development of outcome categories may, therefore, improve prediction more substantially.…”

Researchers and practitioners recognize the need to develop better prediction of abuse and reassault among men referred to batterer programs. Previous approaches have produced relatively weak predictions for primarily dichotomized "reassault versus no reassault" outcomes. The primary objective of this research was to improve prediction using multinomial logistic regressions with multiple outcomes and conditional factors. We used a unique data set from a multisite batterer program evaluation with a large sample size (n = 840), a longitudinal 15-month follow-up, and high response rates (70% of the women). Multiple outcomes included no abuse, verbal abuse or controlling behavior, threats, one-time reassault, and repeated reassaults. Using multiple outcomes improved prediction with risk markers over prediction of a dichotomous outcome and suggests that "repeat reassault" should be distinguished from "one-time reassault." Conditional factors did not substantially improve prediction. The low "correct classification" suggests, however, the difficulty of identifying the most dangerous batterers.

“…(), Åsling‐Monemi, Tabassum & Persson (), Silverman, Gupta, Decker, Kapur & Raj () and Rahman, Hoque & Makinoda () exclusively rely on quantitative tools and techniques. Arguably, quantitative measures may permit researchers to define the acts that contribute to an understanding of the types of violence, but fail to accurately represent the experiences of the participants (Gondolf & Beeman, ). Accurately quantifying issues related to domestic violence is often difficult and does not provide sufficient rigor, because they are inextricably linked with socio‐cultural contexts, norms, beliefs, and practices (Shaikh, ).…”

Consequences of Domestic Violence against Women: Some Reflections from Rural Bangladesh

The aim of this study was to explore the consequences of domestic violence against rural Bangladeshi women. Drawing on in-depth qualitative phenomenological interviews with 39 female victims of domestic violence from 8 rural settings of the Netrokona and Mymensingh districts, it was found that domestic violence not only causes serious consequences to the overall health and wellbeing of victims, it also causes negative impacts to their children and family members. For victims, consequences were physical, sexual, reproductive, psychological, and economic. For the children of the victims, consequences were mostly behavioral and psychological, while for family members of the victims, consequences were mainly economic and psychological. This study has significant academic implications because it could trace the consequences of domestic violence in a three dimensional manner. Based on empirical findings, this study proposes policy recommendations, such as campaigning against domestic violence and the proper implementation of laws related to domestic violence.

“…Even when couples have been selected for severe male-to-female violence, partners view their behavior as reactions to each other, and mutual escalation precedes violence (Winstok & Eisikovits, 2008). Women who report severe PV by their partners rarely comply with their partner's wishes in violent altercations, and most report fighting back physically (e.g., Gondolf & Beeman, 2003;Goodman, Dutton, Weinfurt, & Cook, 2003). Thus, PV generally arises in a context of mutual conflict.…”

We provide a critical review of established and emerging perspectives on violence in intimate relationships. First, we review two broad theoretical perspectives that have guided most previous empirical work on partner violence. Feminist perspectives focus on how the patriarchal system contributes to men's violence against women. Psychological perspectives focus on background and personality variables that put some individuals at risk for becoming violent toward their intimate partners. Next, we review recent interactional perspectives that examine dyadic and situational contexts in which partner violence arises. Dyadic perspectives focus on how partner abuse arises from the interaction of both partners' characteristics and how this interaction unfolds over time. Situational perspectives focus on the specific situational contexts in which episodes of abuse arise, including consideration of factors that inhibit and disinhibit aggression toward an intimate partner. We then describe several multi-factor models that integrate multiple perspectives on partner violence, and we consider the implications of the various perspectives for prevention and treatment of partner abuse. Finally, we highlight promising directions for future research on partner violence.
