Interventions to Prevent Intimate Partner Violence

  • Chapter
Book cover Handbook of Injury and Violence Prevention

Intimate partner violence (IPV) became widely recognized as a health and social problem in the 1970s. The accumulated body of research indicates that IPV is very common. The lifetime prevalence among women for experiencing partner violence has been estimated between 22% and 28% (Straus, Gelles, & Steinmetz, 1980; Tjaden & Thoennes, 1998). IPV can result in fatal and nonfatal injuries and a wide range of adverse health consequences (Basile, Arias, Desai, & Thompson, 2004; Coker, Smith, Bethea, King, & McKeown, 2000) and substantial economic burden (National Center for Injury Prevention and Control [NCIPC], 2003). Research on causes and risk factors has implicated a range of individual psychological factors, relationship and family factors, and contextual or sociocultural factors in the development of IPV (Stith, Smith, Penn, Ward, & Tritt, 2004).

The goal of this chapter is to discuss and review the various prevention efforts that have been undertaken to reduce IPV perpetration. Our review includes strategies designed to reduce the incidence of IPV (either by preventing new cases or by preventing reperpetration) but not strategies that target only the negative consequences of IPV. We follow the defi nition of Saltzman, Fanslow, McMahon, & Shelley (1999) of partner violence, which includes physical violence, sexual violence and threats of physical or sexual violence and psychological/emotional abuse when it occurs within the context of prior physical or sexual violence. It should be noted that emotional and psychological abuse can result in many of the same negative consequences as physical abuse (Coker et al., 2000).
