While incarcerated, women may continue to experience intimate partner violence (IPV), perpetrated by partners who reside in the outside community. Power and control dynamics of abusive relationships may intensify as the abuser exploits their partners' incarceration. The current study assessed IPV experiences of 832 incarcerated women (50% white, 76% mothers), testing a novel instrument. Results validated a two-factor structure: (a) (i.e., verbal, physical) and (b) (i.e., leveraging the women's incarceration to intimidate or control). This study introduces a novel instrument to measure IPV while incarcerated and provides implications for research and practice.
在监禁期间，女性可能会继续遭受来自居住在社区外的伴侣的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）。由于施虐者利用其伴侣的监禁，虐待关系中的权力和控制动态可能会加剧。本研究评估了 832 名被监禁女性（50%为白人，76%为母亲）的 IPV 经历，测试了一种新的工具。结果验证了一个两因素结构：（a） （即言语、身体）和（b） （即利用女性的监禁来恐吓或控制）。本研究介绍了一种新的工具来衡量监禁期间的 IPV，并为研究和实践提供了启示。
