Understanding Interpersonal Violence: Victimization and Violence Perpetrated by Women
SESSION INFO
Monday, February 13, 2023
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Each year approximately 10 million people are abused by someone close to them. Women are far more likely than men to be victims of domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence (IPV), and they are more likely to commit non-violent crimes. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of women entering the criminal legal system with charges of assault or other violent offenses. Research suggests that the vast majority of women charged with violent crimes have experienced adverse childhood events, and many are also victims of DP/IPV. This session explores the importance of responding to gender, trauma, and its relationships to DV/IPV when supervising justice-impacted women. Participants will be introduced to the research surrounding DV/IPV, and learn about gender-specific, trauma-informed, and evidence-based strategies and interventions to assist survivors of DV/IPV. Faculty will include community partners who are directly impacted and who provide support to those who commit harm and have been harmed.
