Coming to Terms with Risk Factors for Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration: A Scoping Review.

Purpose: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global issue requiring a thorough understanding of risk factors to inform prevention strategies. This study applies Kraemer et al.'s (2005) categorization system to classify risk factors for IPV perpetration, addressing two research questions: 1) What variables or attributes are commonly employed to assess the risks associated with IPV perpetration, and how can these be thematized? 2) Which non-correlates, correlates, fixed markers, variable markers, and causal risk factors related to IPV perpetration are identified and examined in the existing literature?

Material And Methods: A scoping review of 62 publications on risk factors for IPV perpetration in married- and cohabiting couples was conducted.
