Abstract

The aim of this study was to characterize young dating violent offenders (DVO), and to compare them to the general population and to young offenders with violent crimes directed against other victims. We have used data from the Development of Aggressive Antisocial Behaviour Study, in all 262 young men, 18 to 25 years, convicted of violent crimes and imprisoned in the Western Region of the Swedish Prison and Probation Services. We found that young DVO offenders differed from the general population in all investigated areas; however, the group did not differ in comparisons to other young violent offenders. Our results highlight the antisocial aspects of dating violent crime being rooted in aggressive antisocial behaviour, lacking signs of any specific offender type characteristics, thus questioning the validity of crime specific treatment programs in prison for young offenders of dating violence.

约会暴力与其他类型的暴力相比:犯罪者相似，但受害者不同

本研究的目的是描述年轻约会暴力罪犯（DVO）的特征，并将他们与普通人群和针对其他受害者的暴力犯罪的年轻罪犯进行比较。我们使用了来自攻击性反社会行为发展研究的数据，调查了262名18至25岁的年轻男子，他们被判犯有暴力犯罪，并被关押在瑞典监狱和缓刑管理局西部地区。我们发现，在所有调查地区，年轻的DVO罪犯与普通人群不同；然而，与其他年轻暴力犯罪者相比，这一群体并没有什么不同。我们的研究结果强调了约会暴力犯罪的反社会方面，其根源在于攻击性反社会行为，缺乏任何特定罪犯类型特征的迹象，从而质疑监狱中针对约会暴力年轻罪犯的特定犯罪治疗计划的有效性。
