We conceptualize a new and distinct form of intimate partner violence: coercive violence. Coercive violence is a form of intimate partner violence in which the abuser intentionally engages in acts that expose his partner to state surveillance and violence at the behest of institutions or the state, including the child welfare system and the criminal legal system. Because the violence is perpetrated by an institution rather than an individual, it is difficult for the victim/survivor to seek justice or retribution. We conclude with suggestions for future research that interrogates coercive violence, its impacts on victims/survivors, and strategies for preventing it.
我们提出了一种新的、独特的亲密伴侣暴力形式：强制性暴力。强制性暴力是一种亲密伴侣暴力形式，施暴者故意实施一些行为，使他的伴侣在机构或国家的指使下，包括儿童福利系统和刑事司法系统，面临国家监控和暴力。由于这种暴力是由机构而不是个人实施的，因此受害者/幸存者很难寻求正义或报复。最后，我们提出了一些未来研究的建议，这些研究将探讨强制性暴力、其对受害者/幸存者的影响以及预防这种暴力的策略。
