Abstract

In this study we apply the versatile/specialist offender debate to the research of intimate partner violence. We propose the existence of two types of imprisoned male batterers: the generalist and the specialist batterer. The individual, family, and community characteristics of these types of batterers are further explored in 110 imprisoned males in the Penitentiary of Villabona (Spain). As for the individual characteristics, results indicate that the generalist batterer present higher levels of psychopathology (specially antisocial and borderline personality), sexist attitudes, and substance dependence. Specialist batterers presented higher levels of conflict in their family of origin. Finally, generalist batterers reported coming from more socially disordered communities and showed lower levels of participation and integration in these communities than the specialist batterer. These results suggest that the classical distinctions among batterers based on psychopathology and context of violence (whether general or family only) might be of little utility when applied to imprisoned male batterers.

通才vs专才:监狱中殴打者的类型学
在本研究中,我们将多面手/专业罪犯辩论应用于亲密伴侣暴力的研究。我们提出存在两种类型的监禁男性施暴者:通才施暴者和专才施暴者。在西班牙维拉博纳监狱的110名被监禁的男性中,进一步探讨了这些类型的殴打者的个人、家庭和社区特征。在个体特征方面,通才型施暴者存在较高的精神病理特征(尤其是反社会人格和边缘型人格)、性别歧视态度和物质依赖。专业殴打者在其原生家庭中表现出更高程度的冲突。最后,通才型施暴者来自社会混乱的社区,与专才型施暴者相比,通才型施暴者在这些社区的参与度和融入程度较低。这些结果表明,基于精神病理学和暴力背景(无论是一般的还是家庭的)对施暴者的经典区分,在适用于被监禁的男性施暴者时可能没有多大用处。
