“…Even though adolescent IPV affects both sexes, there are marked gendered differences between young women's and young men's experiences and risks related to IPV: Adolescent girls are more at risk of experiencing sexual violence than boys are (Halpern, 2001), and, in general, of becoming victims of dating aggression (Oleary et al, 2008), engaging in physical force in self-defense, and being seriously injured (Hickman et al, 2004;Davis, 2008;Silverman, Raj et al, 2001). They are also more likely to be killed by a partner than are males.…”

“…Girls and younger women experience the highest per capita rates of physical and sexual violence from dating partners. [5][6][7][8] Like IPV, TDV victimization is associated with multiple negative physical, sexual, and psychological health outcomes. [9][10][11] Investigations among youth are critical to inform efforts to prevent such violence from becoming a pattern of behavior within intimate relationships into adulthood-and to reduce early victimization and related health, social, and behavioral effects of such violence across the life course.…”

This study aims to examine the link between male perpetration of teen dating violence (TDV) and neighborhood violence, as well as associations with gender attitudes and perceived peer and neighborhood norms related to violence among a sample of urban adolescent boys. Participants of this cross-sectional study (N=275) were between the ages of 14 and 20 years and recruited from urban community health centers. Crude and adjusted logistic and linear regression models were used to examine TDV perpetration in relation to (a) neighborhood violence involvement, (b) perceptions of peer violence, (c) perceptions of neighborhood violence, and (d) gender attitudes. Slightly more than one in four (28%) boys reported at least one form of TDV perpetration; among boys who have ever had sex, almost half (45%) reported at least one form of TDV perpetration. In logistic and linear regression models adjusted for demographics, boys who reported TDV perpetration were more likely to report involvement in neighborhood violence (odds ratio (OR)=3.1; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.7-5.5), beliefs that their friends have perpetrated TDV (OR=2.7; 95%CI=1.4-5.1), perceptions of violent activity within their neighborhood (OR=3.0; 95%CI=1.4-6.3), and greater support of traditional gender norms (β=3.2, p=0.002). The findings suggest that efforts are needed to address boys' behaviors related to the perpetration of multiple forms of violence and require explicit efforts to reduce perceived norms of violence perpetration as well as problematic gender attitudes (e.g., increasing support for gender equity) across boys' life contexts.

“…[2] Those experiencing IPV may present to healthcare services with physical injury, [3] depression, or suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. [4] Studies worldwide have shown that physical, psychological and sexual violence vary widely across countries and have been reported in 10 -50% of relationships for individuals aged up to 19 years, including in the USA, India, Nigeria, China, [5] the UK, [6,7] Tanzania [8] and South Africa (SA). [5,8,9] Most studies have reported that psychological violence is most common, followed by physical violence and then sexual violence.…”

Intimate partner violence in early adolescence: The role of gender, socioeconomic factors and the school

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background. Intimate partner violence (IPV) among adolescents is common worldwide, but our understanding of perpetration, gender differences and the role of social-ecological factors remains limited. Objectives. To explore the prevalence of physical and sexual IPV perpetration and victimisation by gender, and associated risk and protective factors. Methods. Young adolescents (N=2 839) from 41 randomly selected public high schools in the Western Cape region of South Africa (SA), participating in the PREPARE study, completed a self-administered questionnaire. Results. The participants' mean age was 13.65 years (standard deviation 1.01), with 19.1% (541/2 839) reporting being victims/survivors of IPV and 13.0% (370/2 839) reporting perpetrating IPV. Girls were less likely to report being a victim/survivor of physical IPV (odds ratio (OR) 0.72; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.57 -0.92) and less likely to be a perpetrator of sexual IPV than boys (OR 0.33; 95% CI 0.21 -0.52). Conclusions. Physical and sexual IPV was commonly reported among young adolescents in SA. Further qualitative exploration of the role of reciprocal violence by gender is needed, and the role of 'school climate'-related factors should be taken into account when developing preventive interventions.
