Exploring Typologies of Domestic Violence Perpetrators: Insights into Male Patterns and Behaviours
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Research into domestic violence has typically focused on the victims, who are usually female. However, shifting the focus to the male perpetrators creates opportunities for earlier intervention to stop the violence. By recognizing the early warning signs, police, community-based supports and governments can target interventions to prevent domestic violence before it escalates or even occurs. This policy brief examines the 10-year history of Calgary Police Service interactions with 934 Calgary men, aged 18 and above, who were eventually charged in domestic violence incidents in 2019. Based on their criminal and domestic encounters with police, the perpetrators fell into four typologies. Of the four groups, one had no history with police and the second had a criminal history but no non-criminal domestic encounters before the 2019 charge. The third group had a history of non-criminal domestic encounters, but no criminal history with police, while the fourth group had a record of both criminal charges and non-criminal domestic encounters with police. Only 27 per cent of the men in this study had no previous interactions with police. These trajectories and typologies reveal discernible increases in criminal activity and domestic encounters with police culminating in domestic violence charges. This information can help to focus legislation, policies and practices which can lead to preventing domestic violence, thus improving on the current model in which police and community organizations often respond to domestic violence only after the fact. Increased police interactions prior to a criminal conviction involving domestic violence mean there is a point at which early intervention may prevent a criminal incident of domestic violence from happening. Interventions can include providing access to counselling and supports while making online resources accessible to men at risk of becoming perpetrators and who are struggling with their behaviour in their intimate relationships. Other prevention efforts could include school-based programs and targeting male-dominated workplaces with domestic violence prevention efforts in order to avert potential first offences. The approach to domestic violence must shift. The victims’ responsibility to keep themselves safe needs to be augmented by a focus on stopping the individuals who perpetuate harm. Our ongoing research agenda is investigating the extent to which police, government and policy-makers may be able to use information about the behaviours and trajectories of offenders to intervene proactively and so prevent incidents of domestic violence from happening.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
