IPA Perpetration Essay

209 Words1 Page

A lot of nonsexual physical intimate partner abuse is the method most people think of with intimate partner abuse and battered women, including strategies ranging from slapping, shoving, hitting, or any other form of nonsexual physical violence. Many research studies, police reports, and so on fail to distinguish between more minor and more serious forms of slapping, shoving, and so on. One force that keeps IPA invisible is that the survivors themselves are often reluctant to define themselves as victims, and might hide, deny, and or/ minimize their partners’ abuse and their own injuries resulting from this abuse, particularly during the early stages of the IPA perpetration. These “unacknowledged victims” are more likely when the abuse is nonviolent.
