Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Intimate partner violence towards women (IPVAW) is a global problem, also prevalent in the Nordic countries including Sweden. Attitudes regarding IPVAW are important for the addressing and prevention of the issue. At the individual level, a tolerate attitude towards violence against women has shown to be related to IPV perpetration, while a permissive public view of the issue can have a negative impact on the help-seeking behavior of exposed women. More knowledge regarding IPV attitudes can therefore contribute to the development of preventive measures. The current study investigates University students’ attitudes regarding intimate partner violence towards women (IPVAW). Students responded to a survey covering four different aspects of attitudes to IPVAW: perceived severity and acceptability of IPVAW, victim-blaming and willingness to intervene in cases of IPVAW, usinga validated questionnaire. The respondents (n=656, ≥18 years old) represented different scientific fields (e.g. behavioral, technical, and social sciences) at three different universitiesin Sweden. 81% of them were women and most were undergraduate students. While the results point to low victim-blaming and acceptability of IPVAW overall, differences between female and male students and other student groups were identified, with implications forfuture research, policy and practice.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global health problem with severe consequences. One way to prevent repeat IPVis to identify the offender’s risk of recidivism by conducting a risk assessment and then implement interventions to reduce the risk. In order to be effective, accurate risk assessments and effective interventions are required. Practitioners in different settings are conducting IPV risk assessments, but the predictive validity of practitioners’ IPV assessments has not been studied via a comprehensive literature search. This is the overall aim of the present study. The literature search was conducted in five different databases and at three different publisher sites. The selection of studies was based on nine different inclusion and exclusion criteria. The number of studies that fulfilled the criteria was unexpectedly small (N = 11). One of the studies was conducted in a treatment setting, the others in criminal justice settings. The predictive accuracy for the global risk assessments ranged from low to medium. The role of treatment or other interventions to prevent repeat IPV had been analyzed in one way or another in eight of the studies. There is a knowledge gap, the reasons of which are discussed.
