dc.description.notesA multitude of quantitative and qualitative research studies as well as volumes of health and criminal justice data from across the globe clearly demonstrate that male intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and girls is an issue of tremendous public health and human rights significance worldwide (i.e., the health and freedom of girls and women are affected at the population level). However, there is continuing discord as to the basic frameworks used across studies and programs for understanding and addressing IPV, including dating violence, as a public health issue, particularly regarding the gendered basis of the problem. Multiple recent U.S. public health studies have discussed “mutual aggression” or “female perpetration” of IPV, disregarding the gender-based framework at the root of our understanding and consideration of partner violence as a global public health issue. Including mutual aggression and female perpetration under the umbrella of IPV as a public health issue implies that (a) this is a nongendered phenomenon that affects the health and well-being of men/boys and women/girls similarly and at the population level, and (b) the etiology and nature of the behavior are similar regardless of perpetrator gender. Neither research nor practical external evidence supports such assumptions. More importantly, the erasure of gender from the theoretical frameworks that guide public health efforts may have serious consequences, namely, the development of misguided and ineffective prevention and intervention programs to address IPV among adolescents and adults.<br/ >[?2010 SAGE Publications.
