The current study investigates the criminal career of individuals involved in intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV). Specifically, the goal is to determine whether men who engage in IPSV can be distinguished from those who engage in intimate partner non sexual violence (IPNSV) only and whether criminal trajectories in the resulting subgroup are heterogeneous. The sample comes from a Canadian database including a total of 12,458 individuals involved in IPSV and 32,474 individuals involved in IPNSV). Bivariate and multivariate analyses are performed to examine the differences in the two groups while latent profile analysis allows examining the heterogeneity of characteristics of men who engaged in IPSV. Findings indicate that the criminal career of men who engage in IPSV follows a pattern that is clearly distinct from that of men who engage in IPNSV only and is more specialized in terms of sexual offenses. Results also show that the criminal trajectories followed by the men who engage in IPSV are heterogeneous. Four profiles of different trajectories were identified. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
本研究调查了涉及亲密伴侣性暴力（IPSV）的个体的犯罪生涯。具体而言，目标是确定实施IPSV的男性是否能与仅实施亲密伴侣非性暴力（IPNSV）的男性区分开来，以及由此产生的亚组中的犯罪轨迹是否具有异质性。样本来自一个加拿大数据库，其中共有12458名涉及IPSV的个体和32474名涉及IPNSV的个体。进行了双变量和多变量分析以检验两组之间的差异，而潜在剖面分析则允许检验实施IPSV的男性特征的异质性。研究结果表明，实施IPSV的男性的犯罪生涯遵循一种模式，该模式与仅实施IPNSV的男性的模式明显不同，并且在性犯罪方面更为专业化。结果还表明，实施IPSV的男性所遵循的犯罪轨迹具有异质性。确定了四种不同轨迹的剖面。讨论了理论和实际意义。
