This review examines multiple forms of intimate partner violence, including women's use of violence, and argues for development of more complex conceptualizations of intimate partner violence. As new victims are identified, partner violence has been reconceptualized. Research findings indicate that women are both victims and perpetrators in intimate partner violence, challenging previous conceptualizations and explanations. The authors argue that how researchers conceptualize intimate partner violence influences how they study and measure it. The authors call for researchers to develop more complex constructions of gender, and to distinguish between distinct forms of intimate partner violence.
本综述考察了亲密伴侣暴力的多种形式,包括女性使用暴力的情况,并主张对亲密伴侣暴力进行更复杂的概念化。随着新的受害者被识别出来,伴侣暴力的概念也被重新界定。研究结果表明,在亲密伴侣暴力中,女性既是受害者也是施暴者,这对以往的概念和解释提出了挑战。作者认为,研究人员如何对亲密伴侣暴力进行概念化会影响他们对其进行研究和衡量的方式。作者呼吁研究人员构建更复杂的性别概念,并区分亲密伴侣暴力的不同形式。
