“…The statistically significant relationship between weapon use and suspect sex (χ 2 = 73.8, p < .001) indicates that female suspects were more prevalent in incidents where a weapon was used (29.5%) than in the overall sample (14.8%). This finding mirrors other studies that have found a higher rate of weapon use among women than men in IPV incidents (Kernsmith and Craun, 2008;Cho and Wilke, 2010).…”

This study relies on the concept of social isolation to analyze variation in weapon use in intimate partner violence (IPV) cases in rural North Carolina. Social isolation and IPV weapon use are operationalized through census and IPV incident data collected in three rural counties in southeastern North Carolina. The authors relied on reports of IPV from law enforcement agencies within these counties, which were geocoded by address and located within census tracts to assess IPV weapon use and its correlates across sub-county areas. The current study expands on studies of weapon use and social isolation by criminologists and public health researchers by assessing the nature of IPV incidents, accounting for possible incident-level and contextual correlates. Statistical analyses indicate that sex of the attacker (female) and age are the only significant predictors of weapon use. We discuss the implications of these findings for further research on weapon use and IPV in rural areas.

“…Our belief is that the shame associated with women using violence and the social debate associated with the prevalence of men's violence, silences this discussion. We concur with Cho and Wilke (2010) that ''attempts at understanding the nature of female perpetrated IPV should not be influenced by fears of a backlash from a male dominant social structure. Instead, it should lead to better understanding of the dynamics of IPV that is critical to better serve victims'' (Cho & Wilke, 2010, p. 399).…”

This paper describes the delivery of a therapeutic infant/mother group work intervention program called The Peek-a-Boo ClubTM, which ran from mid-2005 until early 2012. It examines the importance of intervening early with infants and mothers impacted by family violence. The intervention used an 'infant led' approach to facilitate the repair of relational ruptures in the infant/mother attachment as a consequence of experiencing family violence. It provides an overview of the intervention and work undertaken to enhance the quality of the attachment between mothers and their infants. In particular, it presents the demographic data of 128 mothers and their infants who participated over a specific period (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011) and then the results of a small quantitative pre-versus post-pilot evaluation of 30 groups over this same time period. Further qualitative data is also included. The challenges and complexities involved in collecting data from this 'hard to reach', ambivalent and vulnerable client group are discussed. The results of the evaluation indicate some limitations in the methodology, however, overall The Peek-a-Boo ClubTM program was associated with improved scores on outcome measures assessing infant, mother and infant-mother functioning. Though only a small study, it supports intervening early to assist mothers and infants impacted by family violence in order to repair relational disruption, and encourage mother's availability to respond sensitively to their infant's efforts in managing affect regulation. A more comprehensive, tailored and systematic evaluation of such interventions is recommended.

“…Some studies have shown the majority of IPV is male-on-female violence (Cho & Wilke, 2010) while other studies have shown women are more likely to perpetrate IPV than men (tillyer & Wright, 2014;Zaleski, Pinsky, Laranjeira, Ramisetty-Mikler, & Caetano, 2010). Gender symmetry with regard to victimisation has been demonstrated, with males and females having equal risk of being subjected to IPV (DuPont-Reyes et al, 2014).…”
