Summary: This study examines the prevalence and characteristics of cyber intimate partner violence (IPV) and in-person IPV (IP-IPV) among 214 women in Jordan. The findings show high prevalence rates of both cyber IPV (65.4%) and IP-IPV (98.7%) within the past six months. Demographic factors were associated with certain types of cyber IPV, while psychological and physical abuse were the most common forms of IP-IPV. Exposure to cyber IPV predicted psychological, physical, and injury types of IP-IPV. Overall, this study highlights the concerning prevalence and interrelatedness of both IP-IPV and cyber IPV against women in Jordan.

Summary: The aim of this study was to examine the association between the victim vulnerability factors and rates of IPV revictimization among female victims living in rural towns, countryside, or remote areas. The study analyzed 695 cases of male-to-female perpetrated IPV reported to the Swedish police and discovered that several vulnerability factors could discriminate between IPV revictimization across rurality. An interaction effect was also found between rurality and IPV revictimization, where revictimization was more common for victims with many vulnerability factors living in more sparsely populated areas.
