Abstract

This study explores risk factors for Protection Order (PO) violation in intimate partner violence (IPV) cases in Montevideo, Uruguay, a topic not yet investigated in Latin America. Using a sample of 1057 police-reported IPV cases, logistic regression compares literature-supported risk factors with those used in public policy to predict women's IPV revictimization. Results show that 26% of offenders violate POs, mainly through harassment (82%) and psychological violence (46%), and police monitoring reduces risk of offenders' recidivism by 48.5%. Additionally, they highlight that IPV trajectories of both victims (OR = 1.85) and offenders (OR = 1.89) are the strongest predictors of reabuse. These findings suggest that Uruguayan policymakers should rethink police intervention and public action on IPV by focusing on two key actions: increasing investment in data collection and analysis to improve PO monitoring and police response, and developing strategies beyond criminal sanctions to address offender treatment and victim support to prevent IPV reabuse.

乌拉圭蒙得维的亚保护令期间妇女亲密伴侣暴力再次受害。风险因素和政策影响

本研究探讨了乌拉圭蒙得维的亚亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）案件中保护令（PO）违反的风险因素，这一主题尚未在拉丁美洲进行调查。使用1057例警方报告的IPV病例样本，逻辑回归比较文献支持的风险因素与公共政策中用于预测妇女IPV再次受害的风险因素。结果显示，26%的违法者违反了法律，主要是通过骚扰（82%）和心理暴力（46%），警察的监督使违法者的再犯风险降低了48.5%。此外，他们强调受害者（OR = 1.85）和犯罪者（OR = 1.89）的IPV轨迹是再滥用的最强预测因子。这些研究结果表明，乌拉圭的政策制定者应该重新考虑警察对IPV的干预和公共行动，重点关注两项关键行动：增加对数据收集和分析的投资，以改善PO监测和警察反应，并制定除刑事制裁之外的战略，以解决罪犯治疗和受害者支持问题，以防止IPV再次滥用。
