Exploring the Victim-Offender Overlap in Intimate Partner Violence among Chinese Men and Women Living in Rural China
ConclusionsMental health is a pressing concern in China, and the provision of services in rural areas is far less than in urban areas. Thus, accessible services are urgent for those who are in need in rural areas. As much of IPV is reciprocal in the family context and adverse violence socialization in childhood heightens the risk of IPV overlap, IPV services should be available to both adults and children to maximize the effect of spousal abuse interventions and end the cycle of violence in families.

Trends in Domestic Violence and Firearm Domestic Violence During COVID-19 in Five US Cities
ConclusionsWe found variation among cities in trends in reported DV, FDV, and FDV/DV during the first months of the coronavirus pandemic. Variation may be due to a number of factors, including differences in baseline DV and FDV rates; economic strain and unemployment; compliance with social distancing; firearm ownership and purchasing; the availability of DV services; delays in court processing and the early release of prisoners; and community-law enforcement relations.
