... Additionally, studies of domestic violence began in the late 1970s and early 1980s with inquiries into physical violence in intimate partner relationships and not the other forms of IPV (Straus & Gelles, 1990), hence the increased attention on physical IPV. ...

... However, beginning in the 1990s, scholars began to pay closer attention to instances of IPV where the perpetrators are female. Indeed, research by Archer (2000) and Straus and Gelles (1990) suggest that IPV rates are comparable across genders, though physical injury and harm are reported to be higher when the perpetrator is male (See Archer, 2000;Makepeace, 1986;Zlotnick et al., 1998). Women's aggression towards male intimate partners is conceptualized as a self-defense strategy in much of the academic literature (Saunders, 1988). ...

... Conflict between caregivers and their partners was measured at Wave 2 by caregiver self-report on the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2; Straus, 1990). In the present study, the construct of caregiver conflict was measured using the five items that comprise the CTS2 minor subscale. ...

... The arrest draws attention to the act and signals that domestic violence is a real crime. For example, Straus and Gelles (2017) found in their work, that the largest number of domestic violence crimes are for assaults by husbands against their wives. The homicide statistics in Plass and Straus' (1987) findings show that women are seldom murder victims outside of the family. ...

... In patriarchal societies like SSA countries where male dominance over and violence against women are tolerated, neither women's education level, nor employment status are protective against IPV [29,30]. Due to the possibility that women's socioeconomic independence may be related to the shift in marital power dynamics being at odds with society norms and being regarded as undermining the position of the male [31,32]. As a result, violence is used to balance power within a relationship, and unequal access to resources relative to the other spouse, may prompt the use of violence to restore power superiority within a partnership [33,34]. ...

... The three types of IPV were derived from the optional domestic violence module. In this module, questions about domestic violence in the last 12 months were asked, based on a modified version of the conflict tactics scale [50,51]. Questions for each type of IPV and responses are summarized in Table 1 below. ...

... Traditionally, the literature examining male-to-female IPV has focused almost exclusively on married couples or couples who were living "as if married" (Barbour, Eckhardt, Davison, & Kassinove, 1998;Dutton & Browning, 1988;Margolin, 1988), perhaps reflecting relatively stable or longer-term relationships. More recent investigations of IPV have included a wider range of relationship types (e.g., dating or cohabitating) that could account for some of the variability in the constructs of interest. ...

... Yet, using a national probability sample, Cazenave and Straus (1979) found that embeddedness in a network of family and friends reduced the intimate partner victimization reported by Black females but was not associated with less violence against the White women in the sample. Other studies also failed to show that perceived social support prevented sexual revictimization in adulthood (Lau & Kristensen, 2010;Mason et al., 2009;Mayall & Gold, 1995) or intimate partner violent victimization (Draucker, 1997;Engstrom et al., 2008). ...

... En ese contexto, estimar los costos de la violencia contra las mujeres en relaciones de pareja, resulta una oportunidad de visibilizar su enorme impacto económico en todos los estamentos de la sociedad. Es recién desde hace tres décadas que surge el interés por determinar sus costos (Morrison & Orlando, 1999;Yodanis, Godenzi & Stanko, 2000;Laing, 2001;Vara-Horna, 2013;Laing & Bobic, 2002;Friedman & Couper, 1987;Straus & Gelles, 1987;Duvvury, Grown & Redner, 2004;Day, McKenna, & Bowlus, 2005).

... not until the sixties and the seventies that researches on the subject of violence can be seen amply conducted. It was by then said that defining both for those involved in the study of wife abuse, child abuse or family violence would normally cause confusion (Straus & Gelles, 1986).
