Issue No. 38 - Taking Seriousness Seriously: Revisiting Gender Symmetry and Mutual Violence in Intimate Partner Violence through Role Types in IPV Events Reported to the Police
March 2025
The study discussed in this learning brief examines gender symmetry, asymmetry and mutual violence in intimate partner violence (IPV) events reported to the police. A large database of police recorded IPV was analysed over a four-year period (2009-2012), to examine the patterns of intimate partner violence. The analysis centres on roles (as victims and perpetrators) in police reported IPV with a specific focus on repeat perpetrators and victims.
