The article explores some of the ways heterosexual women are portrayed as perpetrators of intimate partner domestic violence (IPV) in police domestic violence records in England and is the first study in the United Kingdom to examine the issue of gender and domestic violence perpetrators in any detail and over time. The article is based on a study of 128 IPV cases tracked longitudinally over 6 years, including 32 cases where women were the sole perpetrators and a further 32 cases where women were "dual" perpetrators alongside men. Women were 3 times more likely than men to be arrested when they were construed as the perpetrator. However, Pence and Dasgupta's category of "pathological violence" appeared more useful as an analytical category in the construction of women as "perpetrators" and men as "victims" than the notion of "battering."
本文探讨了在英格兰警方家庭暴力记录中，异性恋女性如何被描绘成亲密伴侣家庭暴力（IPV）的施害者，这也是英国第一份详细研究性别和家庭暴力施害者问题的研究。本文基于对 128 起 IPV 案件的纵向跟踪研究，这些案件历时 6 年，其中 32 起案件中女性是唯一的施害者，另有 32 起案件中女性与男性一起是“双重”施害者。当女性被认为是施害者时，她们被捕的可能性是男性的 3 倍。然而，彭斯和达斯古普塔的“病态暴力”类别在将女性构建为“施害者”和男性构建为“受害者”方面似乎比“殴打”的概念更有用。
