“…The literature supports this finding. A number of studies suggest that narcissists tend to commit violence in man-woman and family relationships, and narcissism is positively correlated with being the offender of the violence (Hamberger & Hastings, 1990;Beasley & Stoltenberg, 1992;Craig, 2003;Simmons, Lehmann, Cobb & Fowler, 2005, as cited in Ryan, Weikel & Sprechini, 2008;Carton & Egan, 2017;Okuda et al, 2015). Considering the positive correlation between being the offender and the attitude towards the violence, it can be expressed that this study is consistent with the literature.…”

In this research, whether the undergraduates' attitude levels towards the dating violence differed in terms of gender, dating relationship status, being exposed to the dating violence and resorting to the dating violence was investigated. The sample of the study was composed of 1171 undergraduates. In the research, "The Attitudes toward Dating Violence Scales, Ambivalent Sexism Scale, Ambivalence toward Men Scale, Narcissistic Personality Inventory, and Personal Information Form" were used as the data collection tools. In conclusion, significant differences were determined in the university students' attitudes towards the dating violence according to the different demographic variables (gender, dating relationship status, being exposed to the dating violence and resorting to the dating violence). Moreover, university students' attitudes towards dating violence were determined to positively and significantly correlate with their ambivalence sexism levels. Ambivalence toward men was determined to positively and significantly correlate with their attitudes towards dating violence. In addition, university students' narcissistic personality traits were found to positively and significantly correlate with their attitudes towards dating violence.

“…It must be highlighted that only a few studies so far have specifically investigated bidirectional violence; however, the risk factors mentioned have been identified beforesuch as alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drug use. 29,35 Okuda et al 38 have shown that across an extensive variety of factors, the strongest association with violence perpetration is victimization itself, leading to a cycle of escalating violence. Taken together, the present results and the literature about bidirectional IPV indicate that individuals affected by bidirectional violence tend to suffer the most.…”

Objective: To compare intimate partner violence (IPV) prevalence rates in 2006 and 2012 in a nationally representative household sample in Brazil. The associations between IPV and substance use were also investigated. Methods: IPV was assessed using the Conflict Tactic Scale-R in two waves (2006/2012) of the Brazilian Alcohol and Drugs Survey. Weighted prevalence rates and adjusted logistic regression models were calculated. Results: Prevalence rates of IPV victimization decreased significantly, especially among women (8.8 to 6.3%). The rates of IPV perpetration also decreased significantly (10.6 to 8.4% for the overall sample and 9.2 to 6.1% in men), as well as the rates of bidirectional violence (by individuals who were simultaneously victims and perpetrators of violence) (3.2 to 2.4% for the overall sample). Alcohol increased the likelihood of being a victim (odds ratio [OR] = 1.6) and perpetrator (OR = 2.4) of IPV. Use of illicit drugs increased up to 4.5 times the likelihood of being a perpetrator. Conclusions: In spite of the significant reduction in most types of IPV between 2006 and 2012, violence perpetrated by women was not significantly reduced, and the current national rates are still high. Further, this study suggests that use of alcohol and other psychoactive drugs plays a major role in IPV. Prevention initiatives must take drug misuse into consideration.

“…These victims have described offenders utilizing a range of violent behaviors (e.g., threats, weapon use, harassing behavior, physical violence, and rape), and half of affected women (45%) and one-quarter of affected men (25%) indicated fearing the perpetrator would cause severe harm and/or death. Surveys of United States perpetrators have displayed intimate partner violence escalating in severity (i.e., with one year between surveys; Okuda et al, 2015), especially with victim attempts to leave the relationship or physically fight back (Jenkins, 2009;Kuijpers et al, 2012). Perpetrators' prior physical aggressiveness, threats to kill, and weapon accessibility correspond with lethal force (i.e., in comparisons between abused women and homicide victims; Jenkins, 2009), and intimate partner homicides tend to follow estrangement.…”

a b s t r a c tRecord reviews of public figure, primary/secondary school, and workplace threateners and attackers displayed the importance of noticing pre-incident behaviors and intervening to prevent violence. General crime prevention strategies did not appear applicable. Similarly, campus threat assessment research has considered targeted violence as distinctive and unable to be reviewed within general collegiate samples, which has related to questions about the prevalence, predictiveness, applicability, and reporting of pre-incident behaviors. This article applies general criminological and crime prevention findings to these questions and presents campus threat assessment methodologies informed by these fields. With college student surveys, pre-incident behaviors have appeared predictive of general physical assault, which promotes investigation of the generalizability of campus threat assessment across collegiate bullying, intimate partner, stalking, and workplace violence concerns. In college student surveys, the majority of observed pre-incident behavior has not been reported to campus authorities and has been impacted by students' personal victimization, assessment of dangerousness, and relationship with the perpetrator. Efforts to enhance reporting in general criminological and crime prevention fields could be applied to improving pre-incident authority notification. Thus, viewing campus threat assessment within the broader violence prevention framework can advance the efficiency, effectiveness, and applicability of the approach.
