“…The latter two groups were thought to be akin to Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart's (1994) GVA and DB offender respectively and thus suggests that men characteristic of these offenders will be most likely to commit femicide. The high frequency of men classified by the High Criminality/Low-Moderate Psychopathology region is contrary to work by Saunders and Browne (2000) who propose that men resembling the DB category will be most at risk of murdering their partner. However, it must be noted that as a high percentage of men resembling the DB profile are likely to commit femicide suicide (Dutton & Kerry, 1999) they may be underrepresented in a prison sample.…”

“…The majority of classifiable cases were characterised by themes of 'High Criminlaity and contrary to work by Dutton and Kerry (1999) and Saunders and Browne (2000) who propose that men resembling an Overcontrolled-Dependent or DB category will be most at risk of murdering their partner. However, it must be noted that as a high percentage of men resembling the DB profile are likely to commit femicide suicide (Dutton & Kerry, 1999) SSA models has suggested that gaps in the solution are meaningful (Canter, Bennell, Alsion & Reddy, 2003: Canter & Fritzon, 1998.…”

“…Unlike the Holtzworth-Munroe & Stuart's (1994) classification system, the current framework does not use severity of past marital violence as a discriminating factor, as this has proved a point of controversy in the literature. Some research suggests that men who murder their partner do not necessarily perpetrate severe partner violence prior to the murder (Saunders & Browne, 2000). This is contrary to research which has found an increase in severity and frequency of violence to be associated with an increased risk of femicide (Campbell, 1995).…”

The heterogeneity of domestic violent men has long been established. However, research has failed to examine this phenomenon among men committing the most severe form of domestic violence. This study aims to use a multidimensional approach to empirically construct a classification system of men who are incarcerated for the murder of their female partner based on the Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart (1994) typology. Ninety men who had been convicted and imprisoned for the murder of their female partner or spouse in England were identified from two prison samples. A content dictionary defining offense and offender characteristics associated with two dimensions of psychopathology and criminality was developed. These variables were extracted from institutional records via content analysis and analyzed for thematic structure using multidimensional scaling procedures. The resultant framework classified 80% ( n = 72) of the sample into three subgroups of men characterized by (a) low criminality/low psychopathology (15%), (b) moderate-high criminality/ high psychopathology (36%), and (c) high criminality/low-moderate psychopathology (49%). The latter two groups are akin to Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart's (1994) generally violent/antisocial and dysphoric/borderline offender, respectively. The implications for intervention, developing consensus in research methodology across the field, and examining typologies of domestic violent men prospectively are discussed.

“…In addition, the gender differences were greater in perpetration of threats of violence for FPP-pattern African American women than for other groups, although the interaction was nonsignificant. Past research suggests that ethnically diverse women may view violence differently, with some cultures not considering physical aggression by women to be as taboo as other cultures (Saunders & Browne, 2000). However, these results need to be replicated with larger samples before firm conclusions can be drawn about African American women's IPV perpetration.…”

“…Additional research on IPV severity shows that men use more dangerous and injurious forms of violence than do women (Brown, 1997;Straus & Gelles, 1986;Straus et al, 1980). For example, men are at least 1.5 times more likely than women to use severe violence against their partner (Straus et al, 1980;Swan & Snow, 2002), including lethal violence (Saunders & Browne, 2000). Thus, taking research on mutuality together with research on severity would suggest that IPV is likely mutual, but asymmetrical with men using more severe violence than women.…”

Three patterns of mutual intimate partner violence (IPV) are proposed, based on frequency and severity: Male primary perpetrator (MPP), female primary perpetrator (FPP), and symmetrical (SYM). Patterns and effects of ethnicity were examined with 445 African American, Euro-American, and Mexican American low-income women experiencing mutual IPV. More relationships were classified as MPP (54%) than SYM (35%) or FPP (11%). Comparing women's and men's perpetration of several types of IPV (e.g., threats, severe physical) indicated MPP-pattern women experienced all IPV types more often and were more likely to sustain injury than their male partners. Fewer gender differences were found in the FPP pattern. Racial/ethnic groups were more similar than different; previously reported differences may be explained by variation in socioeconomic status.
