Intimate Partner Violence is a serious social problem affecting
millions in the United States and worldwide. The image of violence
enacted by a male aggressor to a female victim dominates public
perceptions of intimate partner violence (IPV). This volume
examines how this heteronormativity influences reporting and
responding to partner violence when those involved do not fit the
stereotype of a typical victim of IPV. Research and theory have
helped us to understand power dynamics about heterosexual IPV; this
book encourages greater attention to the unique issues and power
dynamics of IPV in sexual minority populations. Divided into five
distinct sections, chapters address research and theories
associated with IPV, examining the similarities and differences of
IPV within heterosexual and gender minority relationships. Among
the topics discussed: Research methodology and scope of the problem
Primary prevention and intervention of IPV among sexual and gender
minorities Barriers to help-seeking among various populations
Promoting outreach and advocacy Criminal justice response to IPV
With recommendations for intervention and prevention, criminal
justice response and policy, Intimate Partner Violence and the
LGBT+ Community: Understanding Power Dynamics will be of use to
students, researchers, and practitioners of psychology, criminal
justice, and public policy.
