Submission status
Closed
It has been more than 25 years since the publication of Michael Johnson’s landmark 1995 article, Patriarchal Terrorism and Common Couple Violence. Since then, Johnson’s typology of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been repeatedly tested and heavily cited. This special collection takes stock of that work through review articles, and includes new works that test the typology and its propositions with quantitative and qualitative data, and pushes the typology beyond its existing limits to explore how it applies in other countries, in relationships for people of all genders, for sub-populations including U.S. criminal legal-system involved individuals, and in a social-ecological model. This is done through empirical and theoretical works, as well as commentaries.
