The literature considers intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators to be a heterogeneous group. In Portugal, IPV perpetrators may be sentenced to either of two types of sentences: deprivation of freedom or alternatives to prison (in the community). In the present study, we performed a comparative analysis between 76 male individuals sentenced to prison and 76 male individuals sentenced to community measures for crimes against their current or former partners, using a set of psychological measures. The results indicate that although incarcerated and nonincarcerated IPV perpetrators demonstrate considerable differences, some similarities may also be observed. Incarcerated IPV perpetrators present the lowest socioeconomic status and education, perpetrate more severe IPV, and have more criminal convictions. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the use of weapons and objects increased the probability of IPV perpetrators belonging to the prison group above and beyond sociodemographic variables. Based on these results, implications for IPV perpetrators' treatment are discussed.
文献认为亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）实施者是一个异质群体。在葡萄牙，IPV实施者可能会被判处两种刑罚之一：剥夺自由或非监禁刑罚（社区刑罚）。在本研究中，我们使用一系列心理测量方法，对76名因针对现任或前任伴侣犯罪而被判处监禁的男性个体和76名被判处社区刑罚的男性个体进行了比较分析。结果表明，虽然被监禁和未被监禁的IPV实施者表现出相当大的差异，但也可以观察到一些相似之处。被监禁的IPV实施者社会经济地位和教育程度最低，实施的IPV行为更严重，且有更多刑事定罪记录。分层回归分析表明，使用武器和物品增加了IPV实施者属于监狱组的可能性，这一可能性超出了社会人口统计学变量的影响。基于这些结果，我们讨论了对IPV实施者治疗的启示。
