Perpetrators and Victims

Domestic violence is conceived of primarily as a problem of men's abuse of

women. Although researchers have documented abuse within same sex relationships4 and

although there is evidence that, in a comparatively small number of cases, women abuse

men5, the available research suggests that domestic violence is overwhelmingly directed

by men against women6. The prior relationship between victims and defendants is most

apparent in crimes against women. Men are more likely then women to experience

violent victimization. But the nature of these events differs greatly. Women are about six

times more likely than men to experience violence committed by an intimate. The prior

relationship between victim and offender causes particular problems for law enforcement

officials in the area of domestic violence.

Domestic Violence: Literary Review

Violence in the context of intimate relationships encapsulates may types of abuse:

emotional/psychological, physical, sexual and economic. Such abuse can occur within

married, separated and divorced relationships or among single people living together or

simply dating one another. Many enduring and dysfunctional aspects contribute to the

violence that occurs, so it is important to examine how abusive episodes emerge within

the context of the ongoing relationship. Of all the crimes reported to the British Crime

Survey in 2000, more than 1 in 20 was classified as domestic violence.
