Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Surveys and research on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) consistently show that while both men and women can be victims, women are more likely to suffer serious injuries as a result of IPV. The feminist model of IPV, which posits that such violence is an expression of patriarchal norms and power imbalances, does not claim that violence by women against men is prevalent or characteristic of IPV. The Conflict Tactics Scale, a tool used to measure IPV, does not support the claim that violence against men far outnumbers violence against women. Additionally, IPV is often a recurring issue rather than a one-time problem that ceases with police intervention.
