Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is emerging as a valuable methodological tool in this area, yet few CBPR studies focus on DV/SA among SGM people. In the current paper, we present a case study of a CBPR study conducted in collaboration with SGM survivors of DV/SA, as well as community stakeholders (i.e., DV/SA agency staff and providers). More specifically, we make six recommendations to address CBPR study challenges specifically focused on SGM DV/SA, including (a) integrating positionality throughout every step of the research process, (b) establishing rapport with community partners early in the process, (c) engaging external experts in conducting research related to SGM DV/SA to enhance community-research partnerships, (d) ensuring diverse identities are represented within the study team, (e) developing clear, co-defined feedback and communication guidelines with a Survivor Advisory Board (SAB), and (f) implementing an SAB engagement/retention plan. We also provide concrete examples from our CBPR case study to illustrate each recommendation. These recommendations may enhance the impact of conducting CBPR that seeks to promote recovery from DV/SA among SGM via practices for sustainable community partnerships and linkage-to-care efforts for SGM survivors.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"3068-3084"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11807231/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141912992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the extent to which inequality predicts levels of non-lethal violence has been less frequently studied. The present study was conducted to investigate the association between socioeconomic inequality and levels of non-lethal interpersonal violence across neighborhoods of London during the period 2010 to 2012, using two independent data sources: Metropolitan Police service recorded violent crime and London Ambulance Service recorded assaults. Mean income per person and local life expectancy were included as additional predictors. Following exclusions due to census boundary changes, across 533 London wards, there were positive bivariate associations between both violence measures and a measure of inequality between neighborhoods (census lower layer super output areas [LSOAs]) within a ward. Moreover, there were negative bivariate associations between violence rates and both ward mean income and life expectancy measures for males and females. However, in a regression analysis only inequality and male life expectancy were consistent predictors of rates of interpersonal violence across outcome measures. The results of the present study provide further evidence of an association between levels of economic inequality and rates of interpersonal violence. The findings, for variation in rates of non-lethal violence across small geographical areas (neighborhoods), build on previous research that has mostly focused on rates of lethal violence and has tended to use aggregate measures across larger geographical areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"3231-3250"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12130589/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142046800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence and ways in which violence manifests through digital media are not fully understood. This study aimed to better understand the relationship between geolocational dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Grindr and technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) among university students. An anonymous survey was electronically administered to a convenience sample of 1,000 undergraduates at a large private university in the southeastern United States. Participants indicated their dating app usage and the frequency of specific TFSV experiences they had encountered. Chi-square tests were conducted to identify relationships between demographic characteristics and experiences of TFSV. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to predict TFSV based on respondent characteristics. A total of 910 respondents completed the survey, with more than half (54%) of respondents reporting some type of TFSV while using dating apps. Women and non-heterosexual students experience significantly more TFSV than male and heterosexual students. While participants' academic year (first-year through senior) and participation in extracurricular activities were not associated with TFSV, dating app selection was a significant predictor of the likelihood to report TFSV, with Grindr users being significantly more likely to report. Major Implications Due to the near-ubiquitous use of dating apps in this population, interventions to address campus social norms, comprehensive sexuality education, and consent education, and improved regulation of TFSV by technology companies should be implemented- especially for cisgender, heterosexual women, and gender and sexual minorities.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"2964-2983"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141766304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional observational multicenter study was conducted. Three hundred twenty-five people from six centers of a Ministry of Health of Chile program participated. The presence of CMP was determined by a history of pain ≥3 months, and CSRS was determined using the central sensitization inventory. About 69.23% of the sample had CMP (76.85% of females and 56.56% of males). About 60% of people with CMP showed a high level of CSRS severity (66.67% females and 44.93% males). Females presented significantly higher proportions of CMP (<i>p</i> < .001), and there was an association between CSRS severity and being female (<i>p</i> = .004). Chilean victims of PV during the 1973 to 1990 dictatorship presented a high prevalence of CMP and high-level CSRS severity. Both conditions affected females more than males.

Yet, lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals may be at higher risk than heterosexual individuals for IPV victimization, and victims of same-sex IPV may experience additional stressors that compound its negative impact and create unique challenges for achieving accountability in the criminal justice system. Given this possibility, the present study examines differences in the prosecution of IPV cases among different offender-victim dyads. Data were obtained for 38,230 IPV cases referred for prosecution to a large, urban Florida prosecutor’s office, and analyses considered both the initial case-filing decision and subsequent disposition outcome. Altogether, less than one-quarter of IPV cases were filed, and prosecutors pursued convictions in less than half of those filed cases. Ultimately, just 9.6% of IPV cases referred for prosecution resulted in a conviction. Male-on-female cases were more likely to be filed than cases involving any other dyad, though cases were dropped specifically due to victim refusal to cooperate at similar rates across all dyads. After filing, female-on-male cases emerged as unique, with higher dismissal/diversion rates than other dyads. Findings highlight the urgent need for improvements in the prosecution of IPV, especially for male and non-heterosexual survivors. With criminal justice intervention even less likely to be successful for these groups, it may be especially important to identify their unique needs and provide tailored support in the wake of IPV victimization.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When citizens perceive their neighborhood to be socially and/or physically disordered, community and interpersonal relationships diminish, mistrust increases, including negative perceptions of police legitimacy, and overall individual wellness decreases. However, little is known about these interactions within a college population—neighborhoods referred to as “studentification” and described as “student ghettos.” Using an online survey distributed to all students, faculty, and staff of a midwestern rural university, we sought to better understand the university population’s perceptions regarding social disorder, police legitimacy, and the impact of different types of victimization on perceptions of wellness. Findings confirm women and those identifying as LGBTQIA+ fear crime at higher rates than men and reported lower levels of overall wellness, while all students perceive social disorder and police legitimacy similarly. This suggests that the perception of fear is the driving factor in influencing students, faculty, and staff’s overall wellness, suggesting colleges and universities should address the mere <jats:italic>perception</jats:italic> of crime to help ensure the health and well-being of all.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144515435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the issues, we discover the experiences and perspectives of the victims of bullying through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with 20 male incarcerated juvenile offenders. Findings reveal pervasive patterns of mental health problem, including depression, anxiety, fear, loneliness, low self-esteem, rumination, sleep disturbances, and physical symptoms among participants. Furthermore, the behavioral and performance issues arise from victimization that impact the academic and rehabilitation programs of these juvenile offenders. Victims encounter negative environmental factors such as lacking support, deficiencies in policy clarity and implementation, severe power imbalance, and restricted movements and interactions that exacerbate the symptoms resulting from bullying victimization, consequently intensifying negative beliefs and attitudes toward their surroundings within the reformatory facility. This, in turn, affects their relationships and the overall atmosphere of the facility. The study also highlights positive coping strategies such as social support and resilience that could mitigate the deleterious consequences of bullying victimization among these victims. These factors act as buffers, helping victims navigate the challenges of bullying victimization, and maintain their well-being. Integrating theoretical frameworks such as trauma theory and psychological resilience theory, the study offers insights into the complex interplay between bullying victimization, mental health, and rehabilitation outcomes. This study discovers some unique features and deleterious effects of bullying victimization on mental health, which contribute to the existing literature on bullying victimization among a special population in a unique environment. Furthermore, the study underscores the urgent need for evidence-based interventions and policy reforms to address bullying victimization among incarcerated adolescents.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144515436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study explored IPV perpetrated by men with substance use issues from the perspectives of minoritized women survivors without substance use issues. We conducted 22 in-depth interviews with women self-identifying as Black or Hispanic and analyzed the interview transcripts inductively, using constructivist grounded theory methodology. Findings indicated that many participants were aware of their perpetrator’s alcohol use from the outset, but did not discover their drug use until well after committing to the relationship. Once they became aware of the substance use, women attempted to address it with their perpetrator, but were met largely with anger and physical violence. As their perpetrator’s substance use continued, participants described experiencing heightened financial burden accompanied by their own emotional withdrawal from the relationship. Participants responded to these stressors by becoming more financially and emotionally independent from their perpetrator, which led to an escalation in IPV. Increased IPV severity and risks to their children’s safety brought participants to a turning point, at which time they reported leaving or escaping their perpetrator. Some participants found that their financial independence and emotional withdrawal facilitated leaving their perpetrator. For others, however, the burden of sole responsibility for managing the household, generating income, and raising children appeared to delay their leaving. Trauma recovery programs should address the dual traumas women experience when surviving both IPV and a perpetrator’s substance use.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144515568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
