Abstract

While incarcerated, women may continue to experience intimate partner violence (IPV), perpetrated by partners who reside in the outside community. Power and control dynamics of abusive relationships may intensify as the abuser exploits their partners' incarceration. The current study assessed IPV experiences of 832 incarcerated women (50% white, 76% mothers), testing a novel instrument. Results validated a two-factor structure: (a) general abuse (i.e., verbal, physical) and (b) deny or threaten to deny (i.e., leveraging the women's incarceration to intimidate or control). This study introduces a novel instrument to measure IPV while incarcerated and provides implications for research and practice.

妇女在监禁期间遭受亲密伴侣暴力的经历：新工具的测量结构、可靠性和有效性。

在被监禁期间，妇女可能会继续遭受由居住在外部社区的伴侣实施的亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV)。当施暴者利用其伴侣被监禁的机会时，虐待关系中的权力和控制动态可能会加剧。本研究对 832 名被监禁妇女（50% 为白人，76% 为母亲）的 IPV 经历进行了评估，并测试了一种新型工具。结果验证了双因素结构：（a）一般虐待（即口头和身体虐待）和（b）否认或威胁否认（即利用妇女的监禁来进行恐吓或控制）。本研究引入了一种新型工具来测量监禁期间的 IPV，并为研究和实践提供了启示。
