| dc.description.notes | General overview: This US article proposes a model that includes women’s violence in the context of their victimisation by male partners, motivations and how they cope with relationship problems, childhood trauma, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, substance use, including from within the context of intersectionality of gender, class and race.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion:The article finds that reports from acontextual survey studies comparing prevalence rates of women’s and men’s violence are misleading and simplistic. The authors discuss women’s violence in the context of their victimisation. They also discuss women’s motivation variables for using violence, such as defensive motivations (self defence, fear, protecting children) and active motivations (regaining control and retribution), which go beyond self defence and include anger, revenge and a desire to control the partner. The article examines the sociocultural context of women’s violence. African American culture, Latino culture and women’s violence with intimate partners, class and socioeconomic issues are reviewed.<br/ ><br/ >Conclusion: The authors advocate the proposed theoretical framework which looks at women’s violence within social, historical and cultural contexts. They suggest a number of risk and protective factors related to women’s use of violence with male partners, such as the male partner’s violence, childhood trauma, women’s coping strategies with problems in their relationships, women’s motivations for using violence, and the outcomes of anxiety, substance use, depression and PTSD. | en |
