This article critically reviews 62 empirical studies that examine the prevalence of female-perpetrated intimate partner violence across three distinct populations (adolescents, college students, and adults). All studies were published between 1996 and 2006 and reported prevalence rates of physical, emotional, and/or sexual violence perpetrated by females in heterosexual intimate relationships. The highest rates were found for emotional violence, followed by physical and sexual violence. Prevalence rates varied widely within each population, most likely because of methodological and sampling differences across studies. Few longitudinal studies existed, limiting the extent to which we could identify developmental patterns associated with female-perpetrated intimate partner violence. Differences and similarities across populations are highlighted. Methodological difficulties of this area of inquiry as well as implications for practice, policy, and research are discussed.
本文批判性地回顾了62项实证研究，这些研究考察了三类不同人群（青少年、大学生和成年人）中女性实施的亲密伴侣暴力行为的发生率。所有研究均发表于1996年至2006年之间，报告了异性亲密关系中女性实施身体暴力、情感暴力和/或性暴力的发生率。情感暴力的发生率最高，其次是身体暴力和性暴力。在每类人群中，发生率差异很大，这很可能是由于各项研究在方法和抽样上存在差异。纵向研究很少，这限制了我们识别与女性实施的亲密伴侣暴力行为相关的发展模式的程度。文中强调了不同人群之间的差异和相似之处。讨论了该研究领域的方法难点以及对实践、政策和研究的启示。
