This study examined the extent to which cases of intimate partner violence were cleared by arrest, remained open, or closed by exceptional clearance. Incident and state-level factors associated with each outcome were examined for incidents submitted to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) from 2000 to 2009. Using the 10 years of data, comprising 5,481 jurisdictions in 36 states and the District of Columbia, findings show exceptional clearance is more likely to occur in residences, incidents of lower severity, and with same-sex couples, while being less likely in states with preferred and mandatory arrest laws. Research and policy implications are discussed.

Enhancing foundational validity of forensic findings in nonlethal medico-legal strangulation examinations.
J Forensic Leg Med
January 2025
University of Virginia, School of Nursing, Charlottesville, VA, USA.
Background: Nonlethal strangulation occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen because of external compression leading to the occlusion of the neck's blood vessels and/or airway. The current state of strangulation science confines expert testimony to merely describing injuries attributed to strangulation 'based on the expert's experience and training.' Expert testimony that can quantify the likelihood that observed injuries are attributable to strangulation would strengthen the scientific validity of such testimony.

University of Alicante, Spain.
Intimate partner sexual violence is a serious problem and difficult to detect, often due to beliefs, myths and gender stereotypes. This study analyzes whether women identify this violence better through direct questions about sexual coercion, using the Semi-structured Interview for the Exploration of Intimate Partner Sexual Violence (EVS), which examines the characteristics and circumstances of these situations. A total of 110 women participated, divided into two groups: 80 who sought help at a center for victims of intimate partner violence and have therefore overcome common barriers to asking for help, and 30 who attended a counseling center during divorce proceedings, without having reported any form of violence.
