“…One recent systematic review of data from the East Asia and Pacific Region reported that children who had been sexually abused had a threefold increase in risk of IPV victimization later in life (Fry, McCoy, & Swales, 2012). In studies of civilian women (Caetano, Ramisetty-Mikler, & Field, 2005) and female enlisted soldiers married to civilian men (Forgey & Badger, 2010), women reporting severe bi-directional IPV were more likely to endorse a child sexual abuse history. In a large nationally representative Canadian sample, childhood sexual abuse was associated with later IPV victimization for women and men, although the relationship was stronger for women than for men (Daigneault, Hebert, & McDuff, 2009).…”

This paper describes the extent to which abused and neglected children report intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration when followed up into middle adulthood. Using data from a prospective cohort design study, children (ages 0–11) with documented histories of physical and sexual abuse and/or neglect (n = 497) were matched with children without such histories (n = 395) and assessed in adulthood (Mage = 39.5). Prevalence, number, and variety of four types of IPV (psychological abuse, physical violence, sexual violence, and injury) were measured. Over 80% of both groups–childhood abuse and neglect (CAN) and controls–reported some form of IPV victimization during the past year (most commonly psychological abuse) and about 75% of both groups reported perpetration of IPV toward their partner. Controlling for age, sex, and race, overall CAN [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.60, 95% CI [1.03, 2.49], physical abuse (AOR = 2.52, 95% CI [1.17, 5.40]), and neglect (AOR = 1.64, 95% CI [1.04, 2.59]) predicted increased risk for being victimized by a partner via physical injury. CAN and neglect also predicted being victimized by a greater number and variety of IPV acts. CAN and control groups did not differ in reports of perpetration of IPV, although neglect predicted greater likelihood of perpetrating physical injury to a partner, compared to controls. Abused/neglected females were more likely to report being injured by their partner, whereas maltreated males did not. This study found that child maltreatment increases risk for the most serious form of IPV involving physical injury. Increased attention should be paid to IPV (victimization and perpetration) in individuals with histories of neglect.

“…They include witnessing and experiencing abuse in childhood, previous violence victimization and perpetration, social deprivation and substance misuse [14]. Occupationspecific risk factors have also been identified [15][16][17][18], with evidence suggesting length of deployment as a risk factor for domestic violence perpetration [19]. Similarly, combat stress is shown to be associated with domestic violence perpetration among active-duty military personnel [20], military veterans [21] and prisoners of war [22].…”

Purpose Military populations may experience more severe forms of domestic violence than the general population. Although mental disorders are associated with domestic violence perpetration among the general population, it is not clear whether this is the case for military populations. This review aimed to establish the prevalence and odds of domestic violence perpetration among male and female military personnel with mental disorders. Methods Systematic review: searches of eleven electronic databases were supplemented by hand searches, reference screening, citation tracking and expert recommendations.Results Ten studies were included; nine reporting on partner violence and one on violence against an adult family member. Median prevalence estimates were calculated for partner violence perpetration among male military personnel with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); estimates on other disorders were not possible due to lack of data. 27.5 % of men with PTSD reported past year physical violence perpetration against a partner and 91.0 % reported past year psychological violence perpetration against a partner. Due to limited data, no median estimates could be calculated for female military personnel. Data from individual papers indicate increased odds of past year partner violence perpetration among male and female military personnel with depression; inconsistent findings were reported for risk of partner violence perpetration among male and female military personnel with PTSD.Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article

“…Types of violence committed by women may be less severe (Taft, et al, 2009) and women’s violence often occurs in the context of violence against them by male partners (Swan et al, 2008). Although the pattern of IPV is most often bidirectional (Forgey & Badger, 2010), and spouses of male veterans with PTSD have reported greater perpetration of violence towards their spouses with PTSD (Jordan et al, 1992), evidence suggests that PTSD symptoms in women are a unique predictor of subsequent exposure to interpersonal violence victimization (Cougle, Resnick, & Kilpatrick, 2009). For this reason, it is important to examine both victimization and perpetration as it occurs in women with PTSD.…”

An Examination of General Aggression and Intimate Partner Violence in Women With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

et al. 2012

Research has documented significant relationships between PTSD, aggression and intimate partner violence (IPV). Most of these studies have focused on men and measured violence by self-report. The current study examined (1) the association between PTSD and general aggression among women, (2) the association between IPV and PTSD among married and/or cohabitating couples, and (3) the concordance between self and collateral reports of IPV. One hundred twenty participants provided information about PTSD symptoms and general aggression towards others, and 43 married and/or cohabitating couples provided information about PTSD and IPV. Women with PTSD reported more general aggression, IPV perpetration, and IPV victimization. Collateral informants of those with and without PTSD did not differ significantly in their report of IPV. Concordance between participants and spouses or partners was low to moderate. These results are discussed within the context of extant IPV literature.
