Prevalence and Dyadic Concordance in Sexual Coercion by Marital and Dating

The fight against crime is at the heart of sovereignty and reflects the essential valuesand main security concerns of a State and its community. That is why in the European Unionthe focus of criminal policy has been centred in the increased risks brought by theimplementation of the European integration objectives – the freedom of movement of theinternal market. Criminal policy was and should remain a national policy. Yet, the second halfof the 90s witnessed a reinforced political will and the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001, in NewYork, and especially of 3/11/2004, in Madrid, raised the momentum for a comprehensivepolitical and legislative programme with substantive and institutional dimensions, building a‘soft’ European criminal policy founded on mutual recognition, minimum harmonization andinstitutional cooperation. Nevertheless, the challenges and obstacles are evident within adomain with multiple levels of policy, complex substantive and institutional interactions andmostly where the fundamental values of each Member State are at stake. One of themechanisms to ensure ‘some’ unity in diversity may be enhanced cooperation between someMember States. 0783 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EUROPEAN PUBLIC PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE THE WAYFORWARDMargarida Santos (Portugal)12; Adriana Spengler (Brazil)3 1 Law School of University of Minho; 2 Department of Social and Behavioural Sciences(University Institute of Maia); 3 University of Vale do ItajaíUNIVALI Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 551Crime is no longer limited to the territory of a State, and therefore the states cannot act alonein their fight. In this context, new risks such as terrorism, drug and arms trafficking, humantrafficking and sexual exploitation, economic crime and cybercrime which constitute a threatto global peace and security, and, with respect to the space of the European Union arechallenging the responsiveness of the European Union. One of the major current challenges issearching for a synthesis between the demands of human rights and security. Moreover, thechallenge for the European criminal construction is, firstly, its construction based on respectand guarantee for fundamental rights. Moreover, the challenge for the European criminal construction is, firstly, its constructionbased on respect and guarantee for fundamental rights. It is precisely in this perspective thatwe will analyse the implementation of the European Public Prosecutor Office. In this context,we will reflect on the challenges, problems and perspectives of a (new) criminal lawintervention model in the European Union, mostly based on the creation of a European UnionPublic Prosecutor’s Office. Special consideration is afforded to the reflection over the matter of the best form in which todefine the scope of the material actuation of the European Public Prosecutor’s Officecontemplated in article 86. o of the TFEU, in light of the principle of the legality of criminalintervention. 9.15 DRUG ADDICTION AND TREATMENTChair: Michel Landry 0784 A STEP TOWARDS DECRIMINIZATION OF DRUGS THROUGH INPATIENT TREATMENTCENTER Hana Nimer (Lebanon)1; George Salem (Lebanon)1; Joanna Imad (Lebanon)2; Hady Shayya(Lebanon)2 1 Lebanese American University; 2 USEK This study is a case study about Oum el Nour (OEN) rehabilitation and prevention centre, aprototype of substance abuse treatment centres in Lebanon. The modality of treatment usedin OEN is Therapeutic Community (TC). TC is a residential modality of treatment for individualswith drug abuse problems. In this modality the clients themselves are the main contributors tothe success of treatment. Literature conducted on TC and on other treatment modalities,mainly, the 12-step model and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) are first reviewed. Next, thephilosophy adopted, the different branches comprising OEN, the therapeutic interventionsemployed and the characteristics of both the staff and clients are described. The effectivenessof TC in OEN is displayed in the relatively acceptable completion rates of the rehabilitation Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 552program. Results showed that completion rates were 35% and satisfaction was very high.Based on the studies reviewed and the case study done, we can conclude that TC remains oneof the best approaches for substance abuse disorders. Lastly, limitations andrecommendations for future research and practice are presented. 0785 INTEGRATION OF SERVICES FOR SUBSTANCE-DEPENDENT PERSONS SUBJECT TOJUDICIAL CONTROL IN QUÉBEC: STANDPOINT OF THE USERS AND PROVIDERS Michel Landry (Canada)1; Catherine Patenaude (Canada)1; Natacha Brunelle (Canada)2; KarineBertrand (Canada)3; Serge Brochu (Canada)1 1 Université de Montréal; 2 Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières; 3 Université deSherbrooke Difficulties are encountered around the world with respect to collaboration between theservices offered to substance-dependent persons according to their various needs. As part of astudy conducted in Quebec on addiction trajectories and service trajectories of substance-dependent persons, qualitative and quantitative data were collected to gain a betterunderstanding of the factors that facilitate or hinder coordination between these twotrajectories. A first area of research concerned the service users’ point of view while thesecond focused on collecting the standpoint of the service workers and administrators. Theparticipants came from two Quebec regions (one urban and one semi-urban) and wererecruited in three different settings (primary health and social services centres, hospitalemergency rooms and criminal courts). The data were collected through focus groups and oneon one, in depth interviews. The paper will pay particular attention to the results concerning55 substance-dependent persons subject to judicial control and 43 service providers from thejudicial and correctional communities who participated in the study. A portrait of the serviceusers’ substance use, psychological distress and service utilization as well as their point ofview, analysed from a phenomenological perspective, will be presented and will help bring tolight certain variables that characterize those coming from judicial settings. The presentationwill also cover the perspective of caseworkers and administrators from the correctional andjudicial communities on the current state of collaboration between the various servicesoffered to substance-dependent persons subject to judicial control on the various factors thathinder or facilitate this collaboration, as well as the particular difficulties related to the contextin which they intervene with this clientele. These include the difficulties gaining access tohealth and social services encountered by substance-dependent persons subject to judicialcontrol, the communication problems connected with ethical issues surrounding theprotection of these people’s rights, and the problems involved in establishing a relationship oftrust between caseworkers from these different networks. In conclusion, recommendationswill be proposed for enhancing collaboration between the various services that intervene withsubstance-dependent persons subject to judicial control and for promoting more harmoniousrelationships between the justice and healthcare networks. Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 5530786 ADVERSE EXPERIENCES, RISK BEHAVIOUR AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT INHIV/AIDS INFECTED ADULTS IN NORTH OF PORTUGAL Ângela Maia (Portugal)1; Mariana Gonçalves (Portugal)1 1 School of Psychology, University of Minho The relationship between early adverse experiences and the risk behaviours for HIV/AIDS isknown, but until now no study compared victimization history and psychological adjustment inpatients with different forms of contamination. Data from 371 infected patients was collectedin hospitals in the North of Portugal that deliver treatment of HIV/AIDS. Participants werereferred by medical staff, and data were collected thought an interview, in a single moment ofevaluation, usually after outpatient medical appointment. Measures included Life eventsChecklist 5 (Weathers, Blake, Schnurr, Kaloupek, Marx, & Keane National Center for PTSD,2013, Portuguese version A. Maia, 2014), the Portuguese version of the Family ACEQuestionnaire (Maia & Silva, 2007), and an Index of six depressive symptoms (e.g. suicidalthoughts; feeling sad, feeling alone). The mean age of the participants was 46.83 years (SD =11.77), mostly male (70%) and with diagnoses known, on average, for 10.13 years (SD = 6.42).With regard to origin of HIV/AIDS infection, three distinct groups were identified: 1. Sexualrisk behaviour (n=231; 62%); 2. Injection drug user (n=95; 26%); 3. No risk behaviour (n=45;12%). The rates of adverse experiences in childhood and adolescence/adulthood revealedstatistically significant differences among the three groups, with the group of injection drugusers reporting a higher number of adverse experiences at all stages of life, followed by thosewho reported sexual risk behaviour. The group living with HIV/AIDS without risk behaviours,reported significantly less adverse experiences. However, this last group reported significantlyhigher rates of depressive symptomatology comparatively to others groups. This group wasmostly composed by married women that were infected in the context of the intimaterelationship. They revealed to live more distressed by the possibility of having their diagnosisknown by their family, neighbours and friends, fearing, therefore, refection, abandonment andstigmatization Practical implications for HIV/AIDS prevention and clinical intervention arediscussed. 0787 IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF ADDICTION TREATMENT FOR OFFENDERS: NEWCONCEPTUAL MODELS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENTSteven Belenko (United States of America)1; Faye Taxman (United States of America)2 1 Temple University; 2 George Mason University Large proportions of offenders under correctional supervision have drug abuse disorders thatcan be improved through participation in appropriate evidence-based treatment. Suchtreatment can improve both public safety and public health outcomes. However, access tohigh-quality treatment is quite limited, whether the offender is under secure custody or being Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 554supervised in the community. For many reasons, community corrections and addictiontreatment agencies do not collaborate sufficiently or effectively, presenting challenges forincreasing the proportion of those on community supervision that are identified as having adrug disorder and are then referred to evidence-based treatment. In this paper we presenttwo new conceptual models that provide a framework and guidance for improving andincreasing the use of effective treatment. These frameworks are informed by prior theory andresearch in the implementation science and organizational change literatures. The first model,the Evidence Mapping for Organizational Fit, seeks to frame and guide the agency and systemprocess for identifying evidence-based practices, assessing scientific quality of the evidence,testing transportability to local agencies, and testing organizational capacity to implement theprogram or practice. The second model, the Evidence-Based Interagency ImplementationModel, seeks to provide a theoretically-based structure and process for advancing communitycorrections through a logical and sequential process of building capacity for organizationalchange by increasing knowledge capacity and fostering meaningful change toward sustainableimprovements through staff engagement, training, organizational culture modifications, andperformance monitoring. Implications of these models for research, theory, and policy arediscussed. 9.16 EXTREMISM AND RADICALISATION PROCESSESChair: Lina Stetten 0788 THE PROBLEM OF EVIL IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETIES: NEW CONCEPTS VS NEWREALITIES Cristina Albuquerque (Portugal)1; Michel Messu (France)2 1 University of Coimbra; 2 Paris Descartes UniversityThe communication proposed intends to discuss how previous conceptualizations of evil -designed as "extreme evil", "radical evil" or "banality of evil" and explanatory theoriesassociated allow or not to understand the "contemporary evil ", especially regarding what wemight call the radicalized and terrorist behaviour. Considering that radicalism is associatedwith the use of extreme processes and measures to generate the intended transformations,terrorism can be, in this conception, the most negative extreme behaviour. As apresupposition we consider that the process of radicalisation is non-linear and dynamic,consistent with theories of social dynamics. In other words radicalisation can only beaccurately represented if it is understood as a complex and dynamic system. This implies thecomprehension of key concepts to identify the social, cultural and political changes stimuliboth inherent in it and external to it. By this starting theoretical postulation we admit that evilis revealed in the relational praxis and it is incorporated as experience of contrast, acontradiction unmanageable otherwise than under the exclusion or eradication. Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 555Understanding evil thus reflects a major reflexive challenge, referring to a debate crossing the"anthropology of action" and a philosophical and sociological understanding of the status ofthe human will. A debate that, therefore, intends to understand the nature of the existence insociety and seeks the reflexive limits of rational thought accustomed to conceptual clarity andsimplicity of definitions. What is "new" in the contemporary evil? Which conceptual resources can we use to thinkabout it in contemporary societies? Should we rethink the conceptual resources? In otherwords, we face today new "forms" of evil or, more simply, we are before the reappearance ofarchaic forms adapted to the current context (including that provided by the use of what arecalled the "new technologies”)?Better understand the phenomenon is essential to better prevent it. So, discussing initially thephilosophical conceptions of various authors about the “sources” of “evil” (namely Kant andArendt) we propose the hypothesis that to understand the contemporary manifestations ofevil we need hybrid explanations and concepts linked both to forms of “contingent evil” (premodern explanation); “absolute evil” (Kant), intentional and instrumental, and “banal evil”(Arendt) objectified by banal agents “without reasoning capacity”. 0789 THE PATHWAY OF RADICALISATIONLina Stetten (Germany)12; Viktoria Roth (Germany)3; Nils Boeckler (Germany)3; Andreas Zick(Germany)3 1 Bielefeld University; 2 IKG; 3 Bielefeld University, IKG Terrorist attacks, apart from the ideological base, always have a big influence on the feeling ofsecurity of a whole society. To prevent such crimes it is necessary to know how people becometerrorists and in which contexts they act. The database of the project "Radicalisation of violence" of the Bielefeld University as a part ofthe interdisciplinary joint research project " Incident and case analysis of highly expressivetargeted violence" (TARGET) is build by the eleven intended jihadists terror plots since 2002where Germany was the defined target. These planned attacks range from assaults directed byAl Qaeda to violent acts prepared by autonomous Islamic terrorist cells as well as Lone Wolves. The data used to identify the pathway of radicalisation of the perpetrators is based on social-psychological and socialization theories as well as qualitative and quantitative analyses of thecourt files of these (planned) attacks. It is compared by two planned acts of non-islamicterrorism to allow first assumptions on the role of ideologies. During the presentation we will focus on the contexts and phases of radicalisation, on theimportance of (extremist) groups and the ideologies the perpetrators commit to themselves toclear the way to "new" prevention strategies. Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 5560790 UNDERSTANDING PARTICIPATION IN FLEMISH RIGHT-WING MOVEMENTS. Maarten De Waele (Belgium)11 Ghent University During the last twenty years Belgium has been confronted with a strong rise of extreme right-wing support. Routed within a Flemish nationalist discourse, the political party ‘Vlaams Blok’was even able to get support of almost a quarter of the votes of the Flemish people in 2004(24,2 %). That political support is currently tempered in Flanders, but present upheaval ofcertain right-wing groups (such as Pegida Flanders) and police statistics indicate that Flandersdeals with a certain breeding ground for anti-immigrant feelings. Police services register racismon a daily basis and research even indicated that 25.4 % of the Flemish inhabitants agree thatimmigrants make Belgium a bad place to live[1] and 10,3% accepts the use of violence by right-wing extremists (De Waele, 2014). In this contribution we want to explore the activist career ofright-wing extremist. Scholars indicated three major processes of active participation, i.e.entering the movement (entry), being a member (active) and leaving the group (exit). Theseprocesses each have their own significance regarding the prevention of political violence.Therefore, word was given to the activist themselves, explaining their activist career,ideological perceptions and perceptions on the use of violence. Respondents were selected onthe basis of being a (former) member of a right-wing social movement, group, gang or networkin Flanders. Therefore, this contribution will focus on individual participation to go deeper into(1) the participation process and (group/self-) recruitment, (2) the ideological component and(3) perception on the use of violence. [1] Data on Flemish respondents in the European Social Survey http://www.europeansocialsurvey.org/ 0791 SURVIVALISM PREPARATION WITHIN RIGHT-WING OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENTS:ASSESSING THE RISK OF HOMEGROWN VIOLENT EXTREMISM. Maxime Berube (Canada)1; Samuel Tanner (Canada)1; Aurelie Campana (Canada)2 1 Université de Montreal; 2 – Université du LavalStudies of right-wing extremist groups suggest that survivalism is on the rise within active andformer members of oppositional right-wing groups. Survivalism is a movement based on theidea that a crisis or a catastrophe is forthcoming and that one has to get prepared to confrontits potential consequence. Survivalists are mainly involved in two types of activity, stockpile forbeing self-sufficient and self-defence/military training in order to protect themselves and theirprovisions against any social or political disorders. Our preliminary field observation hassuggested that part of this training is done within civilian communities of military simulation. Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 557This presentation aims to examine how this tendency for survivalism, including militarysimulation trainings, within right-wing oppositional groups can increase the potentiality ofsuch threat. It is based on multiple data sources, including ethnographic observation, surveys,open sources documentation and interviews, and explored both environment of militarysimulation communities and right-wing oppositional groups. Based on these data, we arguethat environmental mechanisms we found in Quebec's right-wing oppositional groupsconstitute exactly what was absent from military simulation communities and was explainingwhy we did not find any ideological radicalization within this context. On the one hand, in themilitary simulation context, we have observed some forms of informal social control incompliance with Canadian norms and laws, as well as unfavourable definitions for theadoption of delinquent behaviour. On the other hand, right-wing oppositional movements’environments rather suggests positive influences to the adoption of delinquent behaviour andprovides a marginal framework of informal social control. Thus, this presentation is analysingthe detrimental learnings and dynamics of interactions we observed, as well as examining therisk posed by the practice of military simulation within right-wing oppositional movements. 9.17 HUMAN TRAFFIC: GOVERNMENTALITY AND POLICYChair: Brunilda Pali 0792 HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND ECONOMIC OPENNESS: AN INVERTED U RELATIONSHIP Bo Jiang (United States of America)1; Gary Lafree (United States of America)1 1 University of Maryland This paper investigates the relationship between transnational human trafficking rate andeconomic openness. I find strong evidence of an inverted U relationship using panel data fromUNODC for 64 countries from 2003 to 2008. From the perspective of the institutional anomietheory, human trafficking rate is low in countries with close economies because of collectivesolidarity; high in semi-open economies because institutions lose the capacity to act assafeguards against human trafficking and strengthening of the market friendly values andgoals; and low in open economies because of improved institutional performance andlegitimacy. These forces generate an inverted U and the turning point is estimated to be 1.65.The data also shows that there is evidence of heterogeneous effects of openness on humantrafficking. The turning points of OECD countries and non-OECD countries are estimated to be1.24 and 1.82 respectively. 0793 THE GLOBAL TRAFFICK(ING) COP? THE IMPACT OF THE U.S. TIP REPORT ON CRIMINALJUSTICE IN EAST ASIA Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 558Ben Chapman-Schmidt (Australia)1 1 Australian National University The past fifteen years have seen the rapid emergence of new global norms related to humantrafficking, and new international and regional legal instruments have followed in their wake—particularly in the European Union. Outside of the E.U., however, these instruments lackmonitoring mechanisms or sanctions for non-compliance, and as such their impact has beenlimited. The notable exception to this trend has been the United States Department of State’sTrafficking in Persons (TIP) Report. Though in theory a purely domestic document, itssystematic reporting on countries’ adherence to American anti-human trafficking norms andthe attendant threat of sanctions to non-compliers means that this document has likely donemore to reshape criminal justice responses to human trafficking than any of the internationalagreements. This paper looks at how the TIP Report has impacted the regulation of human trafficking in aselection of developed East Asian countries: Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea.Though these countries have a certain level of shared history, culture and geographicproximity, they have varied widely in their criminal justice responses to human trafficking. Thispaper looks at how these responses have evolved over the past fifteen years, and assesseswhat impact (if any) the TIP Report has had on these changes. It looks not only at legislativedevelopments, but also at changes in policing practices and migration control. The Japanesecase study is further augmented by interviews with police officers and government officials. Much of the current criminological research on human trafficking continues to focus onanalysing quantifiable data to assess underlying trends, causes, or potential remedies.However, that research is predicated on the assumption of a standard definition of humantrafficking. In reality, even within the E.U. definitions of human trafficking vary immenselyfrom state to state. This paper suggests that before we can conduct further qualitativemeasurements of human trafficking, we need to understand how it is being defined; who it isthat shapes these definitions; and how these definitions impact the administration of criminaljustice. This paper draws on the author’s previous research on migrant sex workers in Singapore (AsianJournal of Comparative Law, forthcoming), ongoing fieldwork in Japan, and Foucault’s theoriesof power and governmentality. 0794 COUNTER-SECURITY GOVERNMENTALITIES IN INTERCULTURAL EUROPE Brunilda Pali (Belgium)1 1 Leuven Institute of CriminologyDiscourses of (in)security often attribute inevitable social conflicts to intercultural societies, orwhen these conflicts arise, the same discourses produce exclusionary, shielding and Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 559immunitary mechanisms for social groups to coexist, jeopardising justice and citizenship, inexchange for ‘security’. Based on the work of Michel Foucault and Roberto Esposito ‘security’will be read in this paper through the ‘immunization paradigm’, encompassing the diverseattempts that are made to draw a mark between self and other, communal and ‘foreign’,normal and pathological, order and disorder. Currently, while the racist paradigms based on apurely biological foundation have been discredited, they have increasingly given way to apresupposition of cultural difference as the foundational basis of identity. What is emphasisedin such discourses is incommensurability, the idea of differences as unbridgeable,incommunicable and as contact as dangerous and contagious. In trying to think of alternatives,I would like to explore in this paper the idea of ‘counter-conducts’ in relation to security,through the philosophical proposals of Roberto Esposito and its application to a concreteproject attempting to offer an alternative to the security discourse in intercultural Europe(www.alternativeproject.eu) through the application of restorative approaches. Whilerestorative justice can be seen as a movement, as a theory of justice, as a practice, as aparadigm, as an ideology, or as a contested concept, I will argue that the most fruitful way tolook at restorative justice discourse is by using the concept of governmentality. Referring to atype of power that directs the actions of subjects by implicating them in the ongoing processof their own governance, what Michel Foucault called ‘conduct of conduct’, governmentalityas a mode of analysis lends itself to any context involving the deliberate regulation or anycalculated attempts to direct human conduct towards particular ends, ranging from ‘governingthe self’ to ‘governing others’, therefore also restorative discourses. Given the claims ofrestorative justice to have been, be, or become an answer to wrongdoing throughout placeand history, it is worthwhile trying to understand what are some of its implicit and explicit‘restorative governmentalities’ and what is their relevance and implication for justice andsecurity. 0795 HUMAN TRAFFICKING POLICY: POLICY AS COMMUNICATIVE PRACTICE Demetris Hadjigeorgiou (United Kingdom)1 1 Canterbury Christ Church UniversityIn the past couple of decades, the issue of human trafficking has come to the fore –academically, politically and even in the public consciousness, as can be seen by the reactionto the recent drowning of hundreds of migrants after a ship sunk off the coast of Libya. Overthis time, institutional and policy processes which have been developed to combat humantrafficking have come under criticism for reducing it to a problem of organised crime whosesolution lies with more effective policing and tighter border controls – what Lee has referredto as the crime-migration-security nexus (Lee, 2011). This reductionism, it has been argued,overlooks other important issues surrounding the trafficking of humans, including, inter alia,its relationship with sex-work in different countries (Munro 2006), its link with often restrictivemigration policies (Salt and Stein, 1997), and the extent to which states act in ways whichrespect victims’ human rights (Hua 2011; Lee 2011). But a wide range of actors have becomeinvolved in dealing with human trafficking; ones whose approaches to the problem differ – and Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 560often in ways which mirror the academic debates mentioned above. For example, in the UK,the National Referral Mechanism – the process for identifying and helping victims of traffickinginvolves a wide range of actors, including the police, and migrant and church groups. Thispaper argues there is a need to examine how such actors’ different understandings of humantrafficking play out at a quotidian level when enacting policy. In doing this, it draws on anapproach which conceptualises policy as a form of communicative practice (Fischer andGottweis, 2012): in other words, as a discursively constructed site of contestation rather than aset of rules which are enacted mechanically. It is felt that applying such policy analysis tohuman trafficking, one which has emerged from critical political theory, would provide a noveland illuminating approach to understanding how policy is enacted in this most important andcontroversial of criminological topics. 9.18 INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE: FACTORS, TRAJECTORIES AND CONSEQUENCESChair: Jiri Burianek 0796 DEVELOPMENTAL TRAJETORIES OF VIOLENCE AND MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS INPORTUGUESE WOMEN SURVIVORS OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE Carla Paiva (Portugal)1; Eleonora Costa (Portugal)1 1 Portuguese Catholic University Braga Regional Centre Background. Some theoretical discussion on IPV involving the methodology and samples hadbeen strongly debated. This study aims to determine the impact of early adverse experiencesin childhood on current intimate partner violence; to explore in a clinical sample theprevalence of different types of abuse according with the perpetrator, and the impact ofcumulative experiences of violence on women ́s mental health. Methods. A sample of 65 women survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) were recruited inAssociation for Portuguese Victim Support (APAV) with an average age of 42 years old andaverage time of aggression 12 years, half of them living with the perpetrator. It wasadministered the self-report instruments: Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2), Brief SymptomInventory (BSI), childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ). Results. About 3 in 4 women reported some kind of childhood abuse 55.0% are physically oremotionally abused and 21.5% are sexually abused. Sexual abuse co-occur with other types ofabuse. Regarding the IPV, there was a significant relationship between perpetration andvictimization for all types of abuse. The prevalence rates for self-reported perpetration were7.8% for sexual coercion, 57.8% for assault, 71.8% injury, and 85.9% for psychologicalaggression; for self-reported victimization were 14.1% for injury, 60.9% for sexual coercion,and 87.5% for both assault and psychological aggression. Eurocrim 2015, Porto, Portugal 561Clinical significant symptoms of psychopathology were reported by 72.3% of survivors. Womenwho had been polyvictimzed reported significantly more psychopathological symptoms.Furthermore, women who perpetrate or are victims of abuse also report more childhoodphysical-emotional and sexual abuse experiences. Conclusion. This study permits to analyse clinical sample of women survivors of IPV throughthe lens of a self-report instrument (CTS2). Women consider themselves more as perpetratorsagainst the partner specifically when considering injury and less regarding sexual coercion.Psychopathology high prevalent as is childhood abusive experiences. Gender roles, developmental factors, relationship dynamics and psychopathology may beinvolved as determinants of intimate partner violence This study aims to understand the multicomplex and multidetermined phenomena of IPVemphasizing the need to cross methodologies in order to develop comprehensive models. Theinterplay between individual, dyadic relationship, societal values and penal law policies areneed when considering preventive measures to combat IPV. 0797 SHORT AND LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE Giuseppina Muratore (Italy)1; Isabella Corazziari (Italy)1
