Gender-Based Violence and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) face elevated risks of gender-based violence, yet their unique experiences reporting to police, service providers, and informal support systems remain underrepresented in trauma and justice research. Following PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review aims to map the existing literature on the pathways of reporting and help-seeking behavior of victims with IDD and their subsequent…
Victimization among Justice-Involved Youth with Behavioral and Learning Needs
The current study investigates the association between behavioral and learning needs and victimization among a sample of justice-involved youth. Drawing from a large data set of adolescents involved in the justice system, bivariate and multivariable analyses explore how behavioral and learning needs are associated with victimization, including trauma, neglect, and violence exposure. Youth with justice involvement who have behavioral and learning …
Household Guardians
Guardianship is a multidimensional concept that influences the risk of victimization. However, the influence of the household—central to people’s routines—has been overlooked. Using data from the NCVS (2017–2022), this study employs a multilevel analysis of household guardianship to investigate residents’ risk of violent victimization and domestic violence, controlling for individual-level factors. Living in single-unit households, marriage, and …
Stalking Prevalence, Reporting, and Fear among Persons with Disabilities
Persons with disabilities face higher stalking risk than those without disabilities, yet formal reporting to law enforcement remains low. Using 2019 National Crime Victimization Survey Supplemental Victimization Survey (NCVS-SVS) data, this study examines stalking prevalence by disability status and type ( N = 103,656). A subsample of stalking victims ( n = 1,320) assesses reporting and consequences across four disability types (blind, deaf, cogn…
Law enforcement policies for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Research Summary Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) face an elevated risk of victimization relative to their peers. Victims with IDD may view police departmental websites or policies to identify available accommodations in deciding to report their experience. The current study employs a convergent mixed‐methods approach to examine the websites of policing organizations across four states to determine the prevalenc…
Hard to Read, Harder to Access
In the United States, people who are incarcerated average a fifth grade reading level, and approximately one in four persons incarcerated have a cognitive disability. Given the necessity of health and safety within correctional institutions and federal rights around accessibility, practical information held in policies, particularly policies about people with disabilities, should be written at a level that is comprehensible to those incarcerated.…
Bias-Motivated Violence and the Likelihood of Fatal Outcomes
This study examines how bystanders and situational factors influence if bias violence results in fatal outcomes. Utilizing the criminal event perspective and routine activities theory, we hypothesize that certain situational factors, such as gun use and private locations, increase the likelihood of fatal outcomes, while bystander presence reduces it. Data come from the Bias Homicide Database, an open-source database that includes data on bias mur…
Experiencing and subsequently reporting sexual victimization among U.S. college students with disabilities
OBJECTIVE: We examined whether U.S. college students across multiple disability types were at an increased risk for sexual victimization (compared with students without disability) and whether disability type or registration with the accessibility office was associated with odds of reporting sexual victimization experiences to any campus-designated program/resource. HYPOTHESES: We predicted (a) students with disabilities will have higher odds of …
Accessibility of Victim Service Agencies’ Websites for Individuals With Disabilities
While victims may seek help from victim service agencies, it remains unclear how accessible these services are to persons with disabilities. The study examines websites from victim service providers across four states ( n = 795) to identify the prevalence of disability-related content, accessibility features, and the readability of the website. Findings suggest that a large portion of websites did not discuss disability and lacked accommodations,…
Effects of Question Methods in Assessing Fear of Hate Crimes
This study examined episodic measures that assess frequency and magnitude of perceived threat of hate crime over the last six months compared to standard methods that address diffuse threat. Framing effects of question wording, worry - versus fear - versus safety -based, were also assessed. Using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a sample of 1,824 adults vulnerable to hate crime completed one of the three randomly assigned survey questionnaires that vari…
Investigating the factors associated with induced abortion in six nations from the global south
Women across nations do not face the same barriers in accessing abortion, and do not have the same drivers in obtaining one. Country-specific policies need to developed
Reproductive Coercion, Intimate Partner Violence, and Health Outcomes Among Married Women in Cote D’Ivoire
Reproductive coercion, a form of gender-based violence, often co-occurs with intimate partner violence (IPV), potentially leading to health consequences. Relying on data from the Côte D'Ivoire Performance Monitoring for Action, we examine the association between (a) physical, sexual, and emotional IPV with reproductive coercion, and (b) IPV and reproductive coercion with health perceptions. About 5% of the sample experienced reproductive coercion…

Unveiling the Shadows of the Perversion Files
Examining Risk Factors of Intimate Partner Violence Victimization in Central America
The current study examines country-specific risk factors of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among Guatemalan and Honduran women. More specifically, we examine if (in)equality between partners, experience of controlling or emotionally abusive behavior, and components of the intergenerational transmission of violence significantly affect the risk of lifetime IPV victimization for Guatemalan ( N = 5,645) and Honduran women ( N = 9,427)…
Nonfinancial Consequences of Identity Theft Revisited
The study investigates whether nuanced measures of financial loss are associated with physical and/or emotional distress relating to one’s identity theft victimization. A subsample of victims of identity theft from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Identity Theft Supplement ( n = 1,557) was examined. Financial loss was considered as the total amount lost, whether victims suffered any financial losses, and whether losses were in the 9…
Honor Killings in the United States From 1990 to 2021
Although honor killings often include multiple fatalities in the U.S., the situational circumstances of why these offenders target corollary victims remain unknown. We used open-source data from the U.S. Extremist Crime Database to qualitatively examine 66 primary and corollary victims of 26 honor killings in the U.S. between 1990 and December 2021. One third of the cases involved corollary victims, and half of all victims were corollary victims.…
Examining Disparities in Case Dispositions and Sentencing Outcomes for Domestic Violent Extremists in the United States
This study examines how strength of ideology, victim status, and other factors shape prosecutorial and sentencing decisions in cases of far-right extremist homicide. We draw from multiple conceptual frameworks to understand how assessments of defendants’ blameworthiness, crime seriousness, and other practical constraints influence the severity of legal outcomes. Our analysis of data from the United States Extremist Crime Database finds that while…
Shadow of Personal Fear? The Role of Personal and Altruistic Fear of Cyberharassment
Fear of crime is a social problem that outpaces crime itself, particularly when fear is expressed altruistically for others. Despite this, few studies consider whether the correlates of fear are expressed differently across personal and altruistic contexts, and whether the correlates of these fears for cyberharassment differ across genders—a potentially gendered crime. Using data from two samples collected via randomized vignette design on Amazon…
A Systematic Review of Lifestyle-Routine Activity Theory in the Context of Direct-Contact Sexual Victimization
Studies have extended and applied lifestyle-routine activity theory (L-RAT) to direct-contact sexual violence (SV). Yet, operationalizations of theoretical concepts—exposure, proximity, target suitability, and guardianship—have not been consistent across studies within this context, and therefore the ultimate conclusions on the robustness of the theory remain an open empirical question. In this systematic review, we compile scholarship on the app…
Disability, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation
The current study examines the intersections between disability, gender identity, and sexual orientation in relation to the perceived threat of hate crimes against these identities. Results based on a purposive sample of 1824 adults recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk show that persons with a disability perceive greater threat of hate crimes. When considering disability with gender identity and sexual orientation, perceived threat is exacerba…
Beyond a binary
The study examines the associations between child maltreatment, including witnessing interparental violence and violence in the family of origin, and the timing of physical or sexual intimate partner violence (i.e., IPV) among married women in the Global South. Data are drawn from Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 46 nations. We consider if the experience of child maltreatment is associated with IPV that occurs before marriage among IPV…
Religion and Sexual Behaviors
Social scientists have long been interested in how cultural and structural characteristics shape individuals' actions. We investigate this relationship by examining how macro- and micro-level religious effects shape individuals' reports of premarital and extramarital sex. We look at how identifying with one of the major world religions-Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, or Judaism-and living in a nation with a Muslim culture shape the likel…

Honor Crimes in the United States and Offenders' Neutralization Techniques
Honor crimes are violent acts that are experienced among different religions and ethnicities. This type of offense can be justified, either before or after the crime, by the offender's perceived need to protect honor-based values. This study used Sykes and Matza's neutralization theory to explain the offender's justification of honor crimes. We used data from the United States Extremist Crime Database, which has incident, victim, and perpetrator …

The Association between Adherence to Sexist Beliefs and Traditional Family Norms, Religion, and Attitudes toward Sexual Minorities
Much remains unknown about the collective influence of adherence to sexist beliefs and traditional family norms on attitudes toward sexual minorities. Understanding factors that shape attitudes are important as attitudes can influence the development of laws and policies. This is particularly salient as rights gaps remain in spite of recent legal victories for sexual minorities in the U.S. Using a weighted nationally representative sample (N = 3,…
Influence of Individual- and National-Level Factors on Attitudes toward Intimate Partner Violence
The study evaluated if individual- and national-level factors influence intimate partner violence (IPV) attitudes. Using Demographic and Health Surveys' data, multilevel modeling was used to analyze 506,935 females nested in 41 nations. The results indicated that the respondents in nations with higher levels of gender inequality, measured by the Social Institutions and Gender Index, were more likely to agree a husband is justified to abuse his wi…
Risk Factors of Physical and Sexual Abuse for Women in Mali
Mali is a developing country that has marked inequalities between genders. Using the 2012-2013 Mali Demographic and Health Survey, a nationally representative sample of Malian women ( N = 2,527), the study examined the effect of controlling behaviors, childhood exposure to and experience of violence, husband's alcohol use, woman's use of violence, and sociocultural factors on the likelihood of experiencing physical and sexual abuse. Findings indi…

An international examination of the role of normative and cultural contexts on attitudinal support for intimate partner violence against wives
This study analyzes World Values Survey data ( individual N = 63,307; country N = 53) to examine individual and national factors that shape attitudinal support toward men’s physical violence against their wives. We assess how the national context conditions direct individual-level effects. Greater national support toward this form of intimate partner violence exerts a positive effect on individuals’ supportive intimate partner violence attitudes.…
Victims and Perpetrators of Cyber Harassment
Cyber harassment is a common problem among younger populations and women. While scholars have noted that cyber harassment may be an attempt to demonstrate power and control, it remains unclear if that is the case from the victim’s and perpetrator’s perspective. Relying on open-ended responses from a sample of college students, we use a validated instrument to qualitatively examine if victims of cyber harassment (N = 170) perceived their victimiza…
Factors Associated with Stalking Duration Among a Nationally Representative Sample
The current study examined the duration of stalking episodes among a nationally representative sample. Analyses of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey estimated if the victim–perpetrator relationship and other types of victimization experienced were associated with (a) if the stalking episode lasted over a year ( N = 1,509) and (b) the length of stalking episodes, in days, for episodes <1 year ( N = 506). Findings indicate co…

Repeat Victimization Among Intimate Partner Violence Victims
Despite progress in the application of routine activity theory to violence against women, much remains unknown about guardianship. The current study examined if presence of a capable adult guardian limited the risk of revictimization by an intimate partner, controlling for social support ( N = 497). Analyses tested differential impacts of guardians by examining if the presence of the victim’s friends/family, abuser’s friends/family, and/or bystan…

Extending the Shadow of Sexual Assault Hypothesis
Women’s fear has been explained as rooted in fears of sexual assault—a phenomenon known as the shadow of sexual assault hypothesis. The current study extends this hypothesis to examine whether lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons’ fear of hate crimes is shadowed by fears of sexual assault. Results indicate that bisexual and transgender persons express greater fear of hate crimes relative to others. This fear is explained by their fear …
Reproductive Coercion Among College Students
The current study is guided by routine activity theory to explore the risk of experiencing reproductive coercion among a sample of sexually active college students ( N = 1,515). Findings indicate that being in an exclusive relationship was associated with lower odds of reproductive coercion, yet prior victimization, including emotional abuse and sexual violence, was associated with higher odds of reproductive coercion. This study supports other r…
Intimate Partner Violence and Age at Marriage in Mali
Polygyny and early marriage - both prevalent in Mali - are risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV). Relying on data from the 2018 Malian Demographic and Health Surveys, the study examines the effects of polygyny and age at marriage, while controlling for known risk factors of IPV, on the likelihood of experiencing IPV. Findings reveal that polygyny is associated with IPV. However, polygyny has a moderating influence on the association be…
Differences in Nonresponse Bias and Victimization Reports Across Self-Administered Web-Based and Paper-and-Pencil Versions of a Campus Climate Survey
Using a standardized campus climate survey that was disseminated across three modes of administration ( N = 5,137), this study assesses the nonresponse bias of two web-based versions to a self-administered paper-and-pencil version conducted at a Southeastern 4-year university. Significant differences emerged across all three modes of administration and victimization measures (bullying, sexual assault, rape, emotional abuse, and intimate partner v…
Prevalence of Child Maltreatment and the Effects of the Intergenerational Transmission of Violence on Attitudes towards Domestic Violence in Chinese Police Cadets
Most [False Reports] Involve Teens”
Scholars, advocates, and victims have repeatedly criticized the police treatment of sexual assault (SA) complainants. Apathetic attitudes and hostile behavior on the part of the police have likely resulted from socialization into a culture that condones the use of force and violence and blames SA victims for their victimization. Using data from in-depth semistructured interviews with 52 Los Angeles Police Department sex crimes detectives, we exam…
Comparison of honor killings to anti-LGBTQ homicides
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the role honor and shame play in honor killings and anti-LGBTQ homicides by identifying similarities and differences across these two homicide types. Design/methodology/approach This study uses data from the US Extremist Crime Database (ECDB). Data for each of the incidents included in the ECDB are gathered from various open sources through a multi-stage process. A total of 16 honor killings and 21 …
Bystander Intervention to Abusive Behavior on Social Networking Websites
The current study assessed which bystander intervention behaviors individuals reported they would engage in when exposed to abuse in their online network and the correlates of these behaviors. Data were drawn from college students' responses ( N = 600) to three vignettes, ranging in severity, where the respondent's male friend commented about his ex-girlfriend on a social network. Although it was hypothesized respondents would intervene on the we…
Community effects on women’s help-seeking behaviour for intimate partner violence in India
While prior research has shown empowerment and gender disparity affect risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) in India, little research attention has been given to the effects of gender disparity and empowerment on the likelihood of help seeking for IPV. The present study used the nationally representative population-based 2005–2006 Indian National Family Health Surveys to assess individual/relationship- and community-level factors that influenc…

Women's Resistance Strategies in Abusive Relationships
Though abused women are often depicted in the media as passive, women in abusive relationships often resist their partner's abuse. However, the experience of an abused woman will depend on her position in the social structure. First, an overview of resistance in abusive relationship is presented followed by a series of resistance strategies often used. The goal of this paper is to retell the intimate partner violence story and identify structural…

Indicators of “proximity to motivated offenders” and “exposure to crime” were associated with rape. Indicators related to “proximity to motivated offenders,” “exposure to cri…
Walking the Tightrope
One of the goals of the #MeToo movement is to elevate the voices of survivors. Course content related to sexual victimization often stresses the importance of understanding the experiences of victims of crime, and it is likely that such discussions result in student disclosures of sexual victimization to faculty. At the same time, institutions of higher education have created policies, such as making professors “mandatory reporters,” which requir…
