{"title":"Examining Relationship and Abuse Tactics Associated with Nonfatal Strangulation Experiences Before and After a Protective Order.","authors":"T K Logan","doi":"10.1089/vio.2020.0012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1089/vio.2020.0012","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Nonfatal strangulation is associated with significant physical harm and lethal violence. The overall objective of this study was to examine relationship and abuse tactics for women with (<i>n</i> = 369) and without (<i>n</i> = 276) nonfatal strangulation experiences the year before, and the year after, a civil protective order (PO) against an abusive (ex)partner was obtained. Furthermore, this study sought to examine which abuse tactics, including nonfatal strangulation, were associated with mental health status at follow-up. In the year before the PO, 57% of women experienced nonfatal strangulation and 12.4% experienced nonfatal strangulation in the year after the PO by their abusive (ex)partner. Those with nonfatal strangulation experiences in the year before the PO were 3.5 times more likely to experience nonfatal strangulation after the PO. Additionally, death threats in the year before the PO as well as having spent any time in the relationship with the abuser after the PO were uniquely associated with post-PO nonfatal strangulation. Furthermore, abuser control tactics and severe violence after the PO were significantly associated with mental health status at follow-up after controlling for baseline mental health status. Study results also suggest that those with nonfatal strangulation experiences may have an especially difficult time initiating and maintaining separation from abusive partners. Results suggest that there are specific risk factors to consider in tailoring PO protections, safety supports, and resources for those with prior nonfatal strangulation experiences.</p>","PeriodicalId":45010,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Gender","volume":"8 2","pages":"95-103"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8219188/pdf/vio.2020.0012.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39033422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schokkenbroek, Sarah Anrijs, Koen Ponnet, Wim Hardyns","doi":"10.1089/VIO.2020.0064","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1089/VIO.2020.0064","url":null,"abstract":"The global spread of the coronavirus has drastically impacted people’s lives. Due to governmental lockdown measures, most people’s work and social life was suddenly confined to their own home. For partners who lived together, this could put serious strain on their relationship, which could result in conflicts and violence. In the present study, we aimed to identify which groups of people particularly experienced verbal partner violence during the pandemic lockdown, and how stress regarding the COVID-19 pandemic played a role in the occurrence of partner conflicts. Through an online survey, which was distributed via online (social) media channels, we gathered data from 2889 people in Flanders, of which 1491 people lived together with their partner during the lockdown. We found that partner violence during the lockdown particularly occurred among women, younger age groups; students; people whose partner was long-term unemployed or was (temporarily) unemployed due to the pandemic; parents of children under the age of 18; people without the ability to seclude themselves from other members of the household; and people with less personal contacts. Additionally, higher levels of stress about the COVID-19 itself and lower levels of stress about potential coronavirus infection were associated with more partner violence during the lockdown. These findings provide important insights for policy makers and health professionals to tailor partner violence prevention and intervention campaigns during the pandemic to specific groups.","PeriodicalId":45010,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Gender","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41957849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
