While homeless, transgender individuals are likely to engage in survival sex, which is the act of trading sex for resources such as food, shelter, and money. Although research has yet to examine how homelessness and survival sex influence the likelihood of interacting with a police officer, research has shown that homeless individuals and those who engage in sex work for money have reported negative interactions with the police. The current study used data from the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey to examine the interactions between the police and transgender and gender nonconforming adults experiencing housing instability and engaging in survival sex for resources. Results from the present study showed that transgender individuals who had experienced homelessness in their lifetime and engaged in survival sex at some point in their life were likely to have an interaction with a police officer. Furthermore, individuals experiencing these two life events were at risk of experiencing verbal harassment by a police officer. Lastly, those experiencing homelessness were significantly less comfortable with seeking help from the police. Those engaging in survival sex also had lower levels of comfort seeking help compared with those who had never engaged in survival sex. The findings from this study highlight the importance of providing specialized resources for gender minorities experiencing homelessness. Furthermore, training initiatives should be put in place to better educate officers on interacting with vulnerable populations.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":"359-382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147533637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings of studies reporting gender symmetry in intimate partner violence (IPV) are challenged on the basis that they do not consider such forms of IPV as coercive control and physical violence. The present study is from a large-scale ongoing birth cohort study. At 21 years of age, respondents completed a questionnaire assessing their social and economic circumstances, experiences of IPV, and their mental health. At 30 years of age, respondents completed the Composite Abuse Scale. Three scales of IPV were used. The scales were of physical violence, emotional abuse, and coercive control. These scales were used in conjunction with questions about fear of a partner to predict respondent levels of Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI)-diagnosed depression and drug use disorders. The CIDI was administered at 30 years of age. Analyses are stratified by gender and with adjustment for all other forms of IPV. While there were few gender differences in forms of IPV, female respondents consistently and more often feared their partners if they had experienced any form of IPV. Experience of any form of IPV was associated with increased rates of mental illness for both males and females. Female respondents' experiences of IPV were generally associated with increased levels of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) depression, while male experiences of IPV were associated with increased levels of DSM-IV drug use disorders.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":"434-450"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These perceived dangers may include hypothetical or future scenarios and can be based on personal experiences of victimization. In this article, we extend the extant body of literature assessing the linkages between criminal victimization and firearm ownership and related behaviors, leveraging data from the Guns in American Life Survey. In particular, we examine whether ever being a victim of sexual assault-by itself or also experiencing other forms of violence is associated with gun ownership and practices and whether these patterns vary by gender. Our dependent variables include firearm ownership and related behaviors (i.e., firearm storage methods, loaded status, and carrying). Our findings present a mix of both expected and surprising outcomes. The type of victimization plays a significant role in understanding patterns of gun ownership and behaviors. Interestingly, experiencing rape alone was positively associated with only one outcome-access to a loaded gun for males-and negatively associated with one outcome-male victims' gun ownership. Experiencing sexual assault and another form of violent victimization was positively associated with most outcomes. Additionally, gender differences emerge in these relationships, suggesting that men and women may respond differently to victimization when it comes to firearm ownership and usage. We address these findings and conclude with a discussion of policy implications.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":"383-407"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147692919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
