“…Results were similar when compared with general assault, such that female-perpetrated IPV was also more likely than non-intimate assault incidents to be cleared by arrest. These findings, while curious at first glance, are not without precedent (e.g., Busch & Rosenberg, 2004;Martin, 1997;Miller, 2001). Indeed, these results may actually be explained within the context of feminist theories of IPV (e.g., Goodman & Epstein, 2008).…”

Victim, Police, and Prosecutorial Responses to Same-Sex Intimate Partner Violence: A Comparative Approach

Research on intimate partner violence (IPV) and the criminal justice response to such incidents is extensive, but the majority of this research has focused on IPV perpetrated by men against women in heterosexual partnerships. Yet, recent research has indicated that the prevalence of IPV among LGB (lesbian, gay, and bisexual) individuals may be as high as or higher than that of the general population. At the same time, a significant body of research has examined police and prosecutorial responses to IPV; again, the overwhelming majority of this research has also focused on heterosexual partners. Following this, the current research uses National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data to create dyads of both opposite-sex (i.e., male–female and female–male) and same-sex partners (i.e., male–male and female–female) to investigate the joint relationship between sex, sexual orientation, and three different criminal justice outcomes: victim refusal to cooperate with police, police decision to arrest, and the prosecutorial decision to deny a case.

“…An emerging body of empirical evidence suggests that some of these policies may have backlashed, whereby women, who could also be characterized as victims in these contexts, are being increasingly arrested under these laws (Chesney-Lind, 2002; Deleon-Granados, Wells, & Binsbacher, 2006). In one of the first empirical investigations of the effects of dual arrest policies, Martin (1997) found evidence indicating that a large proportion of women arrested for domestic violence offenses are charged in the context of dual arrest. In this study, dually arrested women had less serious criminal histories and were more likely than their partners to have been victimized in the past (either by current or former partners).…”

“…Most research about women with violent offenses has focused on women and intimate partner violence perpetration. Women are increasingly being sentenced to attend batterer intervention programs (Carney & Buttell, 2006;Martin, 1997), but a review of literature on batterer intervention programs is substantially lacking outcome-studies focused on female batterers (Dowd, 2001;see Carney & Buttell, 2006 for an exception). This work makes an important contribution to the field by addressing the existing knowledge gap; nonetheless, more research is needed to help develop a more comprehensive understanding of women's violent behavior and how that behavior is contextually motivated, or how interventions can encompass a wider perspective of violence.…”

Women convicted of violent offenses represent a small but important subpopulation of women involved in the criminal justice system. Correctional administrators working with these women often rely on treatment and rehabilitation programs developed for violent male offenders. Although women's trajectories into violent behavior-as well as their trajectory out-differ from their male counterparts, the field is marked by the absence of interventions designed specifically for women with violent offenses. As attention grows in the research literature and in community settings about "women who use force" it is important to develop interventions that effectively modify aggressive behavior as well as the underlying precursors of such aggression. This paper describes a pilot study as one step in a developmental approach to intervention research. Beyond Violence, a gender specific and trauma-informed intervention, was piloted with 35 women incarcerated in a state prison with a conviction for a felony-level assault. Short-term outcomes assessed through changes in pre-and posttest measures show reductions in mental health symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and serious mental illness. The encouraging results of this pilot study have led to the next step in the intervention research process of testing the program in a randomized controlled trial that is currently underway.
