Victim risk ratings emphasized dynamic abuse factors; differed from ODARA's static measures, suggesting need for combined assessment approach.

59% of male IPV offenders intended to stay; satisfaction linked to jealousy, blame, parenting stress. Key predictors inform risk interventions.

FAST, a community alternative to juvenile detention, showed similar recidivism outcomes—offering a less harmful, cost-effective option.

The study addresses the challenge of identifying racial or ethnic disparities in traffic stop and search data by the Portland Police Bureau (PPB).

Most IPV offenders were fathers; many minimized harm to kids. Nearly half showed high child abuse risk, suggesting need for better screening.

Men had higher IPV recidivism; current tools poorly predict for women. Gender-specific risk factors call for tailored assessment methods.

Most women arrested for IPV were not primary aggressors; tailored responses are needed to reflect victimization, context, and offender differences.

Study finds denial and victim blaming by DV offenders don’t predict recidivism. Age, education, and employment status are stronger risk factors.

Female DV defendants faced lower prosecution/incarceration odds. Dual arrests reduced case progression. Prior violence predicted harsher outcomes.

Male and female IPV offenders deny, minimize, and shift blame. Women cite self-defense more, highlighting the need for gender-specific interventions.

Study of 317 dually arrested couples finds women often act in self-defense, while men show more severe, controlling violence; urges policy reform.

Study finds men more likely to reoffend as DV suspects, women as victims. Suggests gender-informed tools and tailored intervention strategies.
