Several empirical studies have shown that women who experience violence in intimate personal relationships (IPV) commonly experience more than one form of violence. While it is recognized that individual trajectories of IPV vary over time, little is known about the temporal dynamics of this co-occurrence or its consequences. This study describes the different forms of violence experienced by women and looks at whether it is possible to predict when severe violence (physical and sexual) is most likely to occur. Data in the study comes from interviews with 70 women who had been victims of intimate partner violence. The life history calendar method was used to facilitate identifying kinds and levels of violence and the month in which violence took place. Individual victimization trajectories were found to be heterogenous and likely to change in the short term. The women in our sample experienced more than one form of intimate partner violence and co-occurrence of different forms of violence was common in individual trajectories. The characteristics of the kind of violence experienced were important in understanding the temporal aspects of acts of severe violence. The increased knowledge about patterns of violence provided by these results should help to develop better ways to intervene to prevent such events.
已有多项实证研究表明，亲密人际关系中遭受暴力的女性通常会经历不止一种形式的暴力。虽然人们认识到，亲密暴力的个体轨迹会随时间而变化，但对于这种同时发生的情况的时间动态或其后果却知之甚少。本研究描述了女性所经历的不同形式的暴力，并探讨了是否有可能预测最有可能发生严重暴力（身体和性暴力）的时间。该研究的数据来自对 70 名曾遭受亲密伴侣暴力的女性的访谈。使用生活史日历法来帮助确定暴力的种类和程度，以及暴力发生的月份。发现个体受害轨迹是异质的，并且可能在短期内发生变化。我们样本中的女性经历了不止一种形式的亲密伴侣暴力，不同形式的暴力同时发生在个体轨迹中很常见。所经历的暴力种类的特征对于理解严重暴力行为的时间方面很重要。这些结果提供了有关暴力模式的更多知识，应该有助于开发更好的干预措施来预防此类事件。
