Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Intra-familial childhood victimization (IF-CV) has been associated with increased involvement in relationship violence in adolescence and adulthood. Drawing from developmental theories by Bowlby on attachment styles, Young on Early Maladaptive Schema (EMS), and Erikson on psychosocial development (i.e., Sense-of-Self), we propose a conceptual model to explain this mechanism. A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review was conducted to synthesize evidence in support of this hypothesis. Three databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science) were searched, with additional manual searching using Google Scholar and reference tracing. A total of 17 peer-reviewed studies met the inclusion criteria. Results indicated that attachment styles may moderate, while EMS mediate, the link between IF-CV and relationship violence. These findings suggest that attachment may function as a primary protective factor against the cycle of violence, through its effect on EMS. Aspects of Sense-of-Self, such as self-control, self-blame, self-worth, and self-esteem, also emerged as strong contributors to the mechanism. However, none of the studies have investigated identity resolution as a potential mediator of the pathway. Neither have the three factors (attachment, EMS, and Sense-of-Self) been studied previously in relation to one another. The effect of gender is inconclusive, while the impact of age has not been examined in any of the papers. Future research should address these gaps to provide further insights into the mechanism and better inform interventions.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Childhood and adolescence are crucial stages of life, characterized by significant changes that profoundly influence overall development. While positive childhood experiences (PCEs) can help mitigate the effects of adverse events during these formative years, they have not been as thoroughly researched. Then, this systematic review aims to address this gap by organizing the existing literature on PCEs and examining their impact on both positive and negative outcomes in children and adolescents. A search through databases such as B-On, PsycINFO, PubMed, SCOPUS, and Scielo, as well as supplementary searches, identified 30 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The results indicate that most studies were published in the last 4 years, primarily in the USA, and focused on community populations with mixed samples. In addition, the results reveal that among children and adolescents, higher levels of PCEs were associated with better mental health outcomes (e.g., reduced depressive symptoms, anxiety, self-harm, substance use, and suicidal ideation), improved psychosocial outcomes (e.g., enhanced adult functioning and future orientation), better academic achievement (e.g., reduced absenteeism and fewer academic difficulties), and some improvements in physical health (e.g., reduced chronic pain). However, the relationship between PCEs and behavioral outcomes showed mixed results. Strengthening efforts to promote PCEs and resources that support child and adolescent resilience is crucial. Further research involving diverse samples is needed to gain a deeper understanding of the role of PCEs.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Teen dating violence (TDV) is a global public health issue with numerous consequences for physical, psychological, social, and emotional well-being. Thus, prevention of TDV has been a focus of research attention for the past several decades. As part of a comprehensive TDV prevention approach, programs, practices, and policies are needed. Yet, no prior research has reviewed the state of the science on laws and policies designed to prevent or address TDV. Thus, the objective of this scoping review was to identify existing global, empirical research on law and policy for TDV prevention and intervention at the municipal, provincial/state/territorial, or federal/national levels. Through comprehensive searches in eight databases in February 2022 and January 2024, we located 4,826 articles for potential inclusion. From this pool, articles were included if they focused on adolescents and on TDV-relevant law or policy at the local/municipal/school, state/provincial/territorial, or federal/national level(s), and were published in a peer-reviewed journal in English between January 1983 and December 2023. Following title/abstract screening and full-text review, 19 studies were ultimately included. These 19 studies focused on TDV law and policy content (36.8%, n = 7), implementation (36.8%, n = 7), and outcomes (26.3%, n = 5). All studies but one were conducted in high-income countries. Findings from this body of work may be useful as other jurisdictions develop TDV prevention and intervention laws and policies. Future work is also needed to understand the developmental, contextual, and policy context for TDV prevention outside of high-income, Western countries.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Sexual violence (SV) is pervasive on university campuses worldwide, with alarmingly high reported rates in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite the high reported rates of SV victimization on campuses, existing evidence has not been critically synthesized to give a comprehensive picture of the problem’s extent, common forms, risk factors, and (knowledge about) victims and perpetrators in SSA countries. We aimed to map the existing literature on SV prevalence, types, risk factors, victims, perpetrators, and consequences among university students on campuses in SSA. We included articles focusing on university students from SSA countries published in English or French language from 2014 to 2023. We identified 543 records from nine databases; Academic Search Premier; CINAHL; EMBASE; MEDLINE; PsychINFO; PubMed; Scopus; SocINDEX; and Web of Science, 82 of which met our inclusion criteria. Retrieved articles covered only one-third of the sub-Saharan region, mostly focusing on female students and victims. Prevalence of different forms of SV varied among countries; authors attributed these variations to differences in time frame, forms of SV, how they were defined, and the tools used. Young female students were identified as common victims, while male teachers and students were common perpetrators. We used the socio-ecological model to summarize risk and protective factors associated with SV victimization and listed the health, social, and economic consequences of SV victimization. Despite these consequences, victims rarely seek help, whether from informal sources or authorities. We call for comprehensive studies in SSA that include both genders and focusing on victims and perpetrators, and address service access barriers.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
A higher prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) exists among racial and ethnic minority groups who experience trauma; however, little is known about cultural adaptations of trauma assessments and interventions, or whether those adaptations meet cultural needs. This systematic review examined the effectiveness and experiences of culturally adapted trauma assessments and interventions for adults from racial and ethnic minority groups. Empirical studies investigating culturally adapted trauma assessment and/or interventions targeting adults from racial and ethnic minority groups were searched for in MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, from inception to May 2022. A total of 21 articles were included, and 8 common themes of adaptations were identified: socio-cultural integrations, collaboration, psychoeducation, language, cultural matching, addressing stigma, training for providers, and practical considerations. Random effects meta-analyses on intervention effects showed that culturally adapted interventions were more effective in reducing PTSD symptoms (7 randomized controlled trials [RCTs], n = 213, Standardized Mean Difference −0.67, 95% CI [−1.06, −0.25], I2 = 39%) and in ameliorating anxiety symptoms (5 RCTs, n = 168, SMD −1.92, 95% CI [−3.18, −0.67], I2 = 89%) when compared with non-adapted interventions at immediate post-intervention. No statistical difference in effects was found on depression, nor on PTSD or anxiety sustained beyond the post-intervention time-point. Thematic synthesis on participants’ experiences showed that adapted interventions had positive influences on attitudes toward mental health and engagement with services. Future research should employ large-scale trial methods to test adapted trauma interventions over longer follow-up periods as well as to explore the subjective experiences of users of adapted interventions.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Supervising people behind bars is inherently dangerous work, yet there is limited understanding of the risk and protective factors for correctional officer victimization. This study provides a systematic review of the predictors of violence perpetrated against U.S. prison and jail staff by incarcerated people. We identified 21 studies by searching six major academic databases (Criminal Justice Abstracts, Google Scholar, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science). Most studies investigated staff assaults in state prisons with male populations, while fewer studies focused on staff in jails, female prisons, federal institutions, or juvenile detention facilities. All studies’ outcomes included physical altercations, though four studies also included separate measures of verbal assaults. Two studies collected data through correctional officer surveys, with the others relying on surveys of incarcerated individuals or administrative data. Though studies often yielded mixed or contradictory evidence, our review identified some correctional officer characteristics that increased the risk of victimization (e.g., being young, male, White, and working certain assignments). Likewise, incarcerated individuals who were young, male, non-White, gang-affiliated, and had behavioral health issues were generally more likely to engage in assaultive behavior. Facility factors like security level and programming were also associated with staff assaults. This review is the first attempt to summarize all empirical evidence on the predictors of correctional officer victimization and serves as a useful tool for researchers and practitioners alike to identify gaps in current carceral research and practices and develop interventions aimed at decreasing institutional violence.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Technology-facilitated violence (TFV) refers to a range of malicious behaviors facilitated in part or in whole through information and communication technologies, or digital media, to commit both online and face-to-face harms. Behaviors can include online harassment, stalking and monitoring behaviors, psychological and emotional abuse, sexual violence, and image-based sexual abuse (non-consensually creating, sharing, or threatening to share sexualized imagery). TFV is a growing problem globally, including in the Indo-Pacific region, where there has been an increase in digital technology use overall. This scoping review identified studies on TFV in the Indo-Pacific, examining regional trends and prevalence, impacts, perpetrator tactics, characteristics of victimization and perpetration, and available programs responding to TFV. To identify peer-reviewed literature, three databases were searched: Monash University Library, EBSCO, and ProQuest. Criteria for inclusion included peer-reviewed empirical studies published in English between January 1, 2019 and July 30, 2024 (immediately pre and post the COVID-19 pandemic) which focused on TFV among adults (aged 18+ years) in the Indo-Pacific. We identified 57 studies that explored TFV, with wide-ranging impacts, but there were clear gaps in research, particularly in non-Western settings. This review presents key findings on the trends, impacts, and characteristics of TFV in the Indo-Pacific and discusses implications for policy and programs, as well as suggestions for future research.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Complexity science is an interdisciplinary paradigm that helps people understand how outcomes, such as domestic violence and abuse (DVA), arise from within complex adaptive systems. This study aims to identify how complexity science has been applied in DVA literature. A systematic scoping review was conducted, searching across academic databases and Google for articles. Articles published from 1990 to 2020, written in English, had DVA partner abuse as a focus, and used complexity science as a focus or theoretical background to the paper, were considered for inclusion. Data was extracted and narratively synthesized in an iterative manner. Twenty-one studies were included, originating predominantly from the United States and New Zealand, and published mainly after 2009. Approximately 70% of authorships were comprised of interdisciplinary teams. Most papers strongly incorporated complexity science as a methodological approach and applied methods, such as systems modeling (agent-based modeling or systems dynamics modeling), aligning with computer science or engineering disciplines. Some used complexity theory combined with qualitative techniques (interviews or discourse analysis) strongly associated with social sciences research. Methods and findings were heterogeneous and often explored interactions between parts of the system and the subsequent phenomena that emerged from these interactions. Complexity science can: (a) support a holistic understanding of DVA; (b) combine different perspectives; (c) encourage interdisciplinary teams to work collaboratively around an issue such as DVA; (d) identify leverage points to assist in targeting scarce resources; (e) help predict emergent phenomena and unexpected consequences of policy change.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
The intergenerational continuity of child maltreatment (CM) is a growing public health concern. Identifying modifiable risk and protective factors involved in these cycles is crucial. A previous scoping review synthesized the literature on psychosocial factors associated with intergenerational CM up to 2018. Since then, a sizable number of studies have been published; this updated review aims to summarize this recent literature. We conducted a comprehensive search across five major databases (PsycINFO, Scopus, Medline, Social Work Abstracts, and ProQuest Dissertations/Theses) from November 2018 to November 2023. The primary inclusion criterion was documentation of intergenerational maltreatment, with studies reporting at least one psychosocial risk or protective factor. Included studies involved human participants, presented original findings, were written in English or French, and employed any research design. This updated review included 29 new studies. Findings indicate that caregivers’ individual (e.g., sociodemographic characteristics, psychopathology), relational (e.g., IPV, attachment), contextual (e.g., socioeconomic disadvantage), and historical factors (e.g., cumulative CM, out-of-home placement), along with characteristics of the second generation (e.g., sociodemographic characteristics, psychopathology), are involved in the intergenerational continuity of CM. The implications for practice suggest targeted interventions should address depression, PTSD, and emotional dysregulation in CM survivors, along with fostering secure, supportive family relationships, and positive parenting skills. Policy implications emphasize the need for enhanced support for child protection services in early CM identification, public policies to combat poverty, equitable childcare responsibilities, and funding for research in low-to-middle-income countries.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
This study explores potential correlates of youth sex trafficking (YST) within the exosystem and macrosystem of the social-ecological model (SEM). A literature review of studies (n = 25) published between 2012 and 2024 identified factors linked to YST vulnerability and demand, including factors related to land use, concentrated disadvantage, the digital environment, and the built and social environment. Protective factors in the exosystem and macrosystem, such as strong community ties and anti-trafficking education and legislation, were also noted. Findings highlight the need for broader research on environmental predictors of YST, as predictive variables have the capacity to inform YST prevention strategies.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Research has studied men’s perpetration of sexual violence against women using various self-reported measures. A major difference among these measures is the types of perpetration tactics they assess. Measures having a broader range of tactics tend to detect higher perpetration rates. Yet, it is unclear whether these measures perform better on other aspects of reliability and validity as well. This review aimed to identify the available measures of men’s sexual violence perpetration against women and to review the types of tactics and psychometric evidence of these measures. A systematic search was conducted in nine databases to identify articles that used a standardized self-report measure to assess men’s sexual violence perpetration against women. The final sample included 85 articles, and 13 unique measures were identified from these articles. Results showed that three broad types of tactics were included in these measures: use of physical force, use of substances, and verbal coercion. Some measures also included a type of physical tactic that was manipulative or coercive but not necessarily forceful. Only one measure captured all types of tactics identified. Psychometric evidence was available for 12 measures, but the evidence regarding which measure provides the most accurate perpetration rates was inconclusive due to a lack of replications. This review highlighted the need for improving measures of sexual violence perpetration. Measures of perpetration should include a comprehensive range of tactics to increase validity, and more research is needed to examine test-retest reliability, false positives, and false negatives in responses to perpetration measures.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
This systematic review aimed to synthesize findings on the characteristics of individuals with cybergrooming offense histories (ICOs), their grooming strategies, and emergent typologies. The Cochrane approach guided the review. Publications were included if they investigated adult ICOs older than 18 years of age, their characteristics, the strategies they utilized, existing typologies, and if they were empirical studies. Overall, 2,603 publications were retrieved from PubMed, PsycInfo, Psyndex, Web of Science, ERIC, and Google Scholar, using a string-guided electronic search. The quality of all 22 publications that met the inclusion criteria was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, and the findings were synthesized. Results from 1,525 individuals across 22 studies revealed that ICOs tended to be male, around 30 years old, had few/no prior convictions, and were likely to have mental health problems. Strategies such as trying to build a real or feigned affectionate relationship via enticement, the introduction and pursuit of sexual content, and the assessment of the risk to be detected were common. Most studies differentiated between individuals who were primarily interested in an intimate relationship with the victim (the primarily intimacy-seeking) and those who were mainly interested in a quick satisfaction of their sexual needs (the primarily sexually preoccupied). Future research should focus on naturally occurring ICO/victim constellations and employ quantitative measures for adequate data collection. The findings underscore variety regarding strategies depending on ICOs’ underlying factors, the state of the conversation with the victim, and their overall intention.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is often considered a unidirectional phenomenon even though historical debate has highlighted the prevalence of bidirectional IPV, where both partners in a couple use and experience IPV. Dyadic data, in which both partners report on IPV, is important because agreement in partner reports of IPV is low. This scoping review aimed to identify rates of bidirectional IPV and examined how different methods of reporting bidirectional IPV impacted rates in studies using dyadic data. Systematic database searches were conducted, and studies were reviewed for the following inclusion criteria: (a) adults over the age of 18; (b) reported rates of bidirectional IPV or provided data that would allow for calculation of bidirectional IPV in the sample; (c) used dyadic data; (d) was published in a peer-reviewed journal; and (e) a United States sample. Rates of bidirectional IPV varied significantly across the 34 studies with rates ranging from 10.0% to 96.6% (median = 35.0%). There was significant variability across studies in instrumentation, definition of bidirectional IPV, and type of sample, making cross-study comparison difficult. Most studies reported the presence of bidirectional IPV if either partner reported IPV use (i.e., perpetration) or experience (i.e., victimization), and if partners disagreed, the higher or positive score was used. Bidirectional IPV rates derived from this method ranged from 10% to 80% which may be an overrepresentation of bidirectional IPV. Further research is needed to inform the ideal method for defining bidirectional IPV, especially when partners do not agree in their reports of IPV.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Hazara refugees are highly vulnerable to trauma and other mental health challenges due to sustained ethnic and religious persecution. The post-migration difficulties experienced in Australia significantly heighten the risk of exacerbating these outcomes, while also highlighting the importance of identifying the various strengths and strategies that foster wellbeing. We conducted a scoping review to explore the mental health and wellbeing of Hazara refugees in Australia. A systematic database search was conducted across CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science. Twenty-one articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. Our findings draw attention to the distinct gendered mental health and wellbeing experiences of Hazara refugees. We highlight the emotional and psychological harm caused by visa insecurity and restrictions post-migration, as well as the detrimental impacts of racism and discrimination. We also discuss barriers to accessing support services, and identify key strategies used by Hazara refugees to promote their wellbeing in Australia. Lastly, findings highlight the collective experiences of suffering and growth experienced by Hazara refugees, and the cumulative impacts that all stages of forced migration may have on post-migration outcomes. In doing so, this review provides a critical overview of the mental health and wellbeing experiences of Hazara refugees in Australia and provides important recommendations for researchers and practitioners working with this population.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Sexual violence experienced by LGBTQ+ adults is a rapidly expanding field of academic study. Therefore, there is a need for a synthesis and critical analysis of the research. The aim of this review was to conduct a critical review of the academic literature on adult LGBTQ+ sexual violence and to provide recommendations for future research. A total of 10,845 papers were identified through a comprehensive scoping review approach and 108 met the criteria for inclusion. The findings are reported across two papers. This second paper reports on the risk factors for victimization: alcohol and other drugs (AOD); homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and minority stress; “risky” sexual behavior and HIV transmission; and child sexual abuse (CSA). AOD use was seen as a risk factor for sexual violence, yet the causal relationship was not always clear. Minority stress was conceived of as an individual issue with undertones of victim-blaming. “Risky” sexual behavior research, at times, framed LGBTQ+ sex as “risky” and failed to account for the specific needs of LGBTQ+ communities. Research on adult sexual violence risks had a focus on CSA that often neglected broader structural issues. In general, across the studies, there was a focus on individual-level research that analyzed survivor behavior, resulting in victim blaming. This paper advocates for expanding LGBTQ+ sexual violence research beyond just individual risk factors, shifting research away from constructing LGBTQ+ people as “risky,” and expanding research to include a more intersectional analysis that goes beyond heteronormative and cisnormative inquiry.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
The existing research on sexual violence has primarily concentrated on instances where cisgender, heterosexual men have perpetrated sexual violence against cisgender, heterosexual women, with knowledge about LGBTQ+ people underdeveloped. However, there is a growing body of literature examining the experiences of LGBTQ+ people. No previous review has critically synthesized both quantitative and qualitative scholarly studies on adult LGBTQ+ sexual violence globally. In this scoping review, we provide a comprehensive overview of current research by examining the prevalence of victimization and perpetration of adult LGBTQ+ sexual violence. To do this, an extensive search of the Discovery database was conducted, and studies published between 1990 and September 2021 were included. The final sample comprised 108 papers focused on LGBTQ+ participants’ experiences of adult sexual violence. Across studies, LGBTQ+ people were found to experience high rates of sexual violence, most commonly perpetrated by men, with rates the highest among transgender and gender-diverse people and bisexual women. However, the body of research is limited as it largely consists of quantitative studies from the United States with differing methodological approaches for measuring sexual violence and gender and sexuality, making it difficult to draw comparisons across studies. We propose recommendations to enhance future research on LGBTQ+ sexual violence.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
We present the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) among LGBTQ+ adults in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Of 1,234 articles, 22 met inclusion criteria, and data were extracted for 4 key research areas: prevalence, measurement, risk and protective factors, and interventions. LGBTQ+ adults in LAC experience IPV at similar or higher rates than those documented among cisgender heterosexuals, with estimates ranging from 0.4% to 91.4%. Inconsistencies in estimates may be due to non-standardized measures and subpopulation variability. The broad variability across subgroups demonstrates the need for more standardized measurement of IPV for these populations. Furthermore, this review identified key risk factors for IPV among LGBTQ+ people including alcohol use, perceived/experienced discrimination, transactional sex, and childhood/adolescent experiences of violence. Protective factors and interventions are not well understood in this context, as there was little to no data. The research on IPV among LGBTQ+ adults in LAC is limited, but this review suggests an increase in research in recent years. However, research has primarily focused on men who have sex with men and transgender women. Studies focusing on bisexual populations, lesbians, transgender men, intersex, and other sexual gender minority populations are needed. The high prevalence of IPV among LGBTQ+ individuals in LAC, inconsistency in definitions and measures, unique risk factors, and lack of interventions found in this review demonstrate the need for further IPV research among LGBTQ+ populations, and standardization of epidemiological methods to measure IPV and its effects.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Efforts to ascertain the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Africa have been ongoing, but comparatively, scant attention has been directed toward investigating the coping strategies utilized by families affected by IPV as well as the cultural dynamics that influence their actions. This scoping review examines the literature on the coping strategies and cultural influences that affect families experiencing IPV in Africa. Using the methodology outlined by Arksey and O’Malley, we conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases, identifying 35 articles conducted across 10 African countries that met our inclusion criteria. Studies were selected based on their focus on IPV survivors in Africa and their attention to coping strategies, strengths, and cultural influences. In line with the four-factor model of coping strategies by Ayers et al., our review highlights active coping (problem-solving behaviors and cognitive restructuring), avoidance coping (minimizing or ignoring stressors), distraction coping (diverting attention through emotional release or activities) and seeking social support among African IPV families. In addition, culturally based coping mechanisms, including silence, placating behaviors, and leveraging religious and community support, were also identified. These findings underscore the complex interplay of individual, cultural, and contextual factors influencing coping strategies in the context of IPV in African families.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Cyberbullying victimization and mental health symptoms are major concerns for children and adolescents worldwide. Despite the increasing number of longitudinal studies of cyberbullying and mental health among this demographic, the robustness of the causal associations between cyberbullying victimization and the magnitude of mental health symptoms remains unclear. This meta-analysis investigated the longitudinal impact of cyberbullying victimization on mental health symptoms among children and adolescents. A systematic search identified primary studies published in English between January 2010 and June 2021, yielding a sample of 27 studies encompassing 13,497 children and adolescents aged 8 to 19 years old. The longitudinal association between cyberbullying victimization and mental health symptoms among children and adolescents was found to be weakly positive and consistent across time and age. Three significant moderators were identified: the effect of cyberbullying victimization on mental health was larger among older children, groups with a higher proportion of males, and in more recent publications. No evidence of publication bias was detected. This study adds to the existing body of research by providing a new perspective on the long-term effects of cyberbullying victimization on the mental health of children and adolescents’ mental health. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of developing effective cyberbullying prevention programs, interventions, and legal regulations to comprehensively address this issue.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Despite a plethora of research examining campus dating and sexual violence (DSV) risk and protective factors, little of this research has been conducted at non-traditional institutions such as minority-serving institutions (MSIs), community colleges, or non-predominantly white institutions. A review of research on statistically significant protective and risk factors for campus perpetration or victimization at non-traditional institutions resulted in 12 articles. The inclusion criteria for the study were that the article was in English, in a peer-reviewed journal, and published between 2010 and 2021. Keyword searches identified 1,160 articles on campus DSV, which were then screened to ensure the quantitative research was conducted at a non-traditional institution. Significant perpetration and victimization factors, characteristics of the samples and institutions of these studies, and the research design were extracted. Few studies included in the review investigated DSV at MSIs, commuter campuses, or community colleges. Also, studies more commonly examined victimization, risk factors, and sexual violence, as opposed to perpetration, protective factors, or dating violence. Cross-cutting factors for both dating and sexual violence included alcohol and drug use, demographics, and prior abuse. Cross-cutting factors for both victimization and perpetration included personality characteristics, alcohol and drug use, demographics, and history of abuse. Future research should investigate DSV at non-traditional institutions to increase our understanding of risk and protective factors at these rarely studied institutions.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Although sexual violence (SV) has been hypothesized to increase shame, the relationship between SV and shame has not been quantified. Addressing this gap is essential for developing targeted interventions for survivors, as shame is a transdiagnostic risk factor for numerous forms of psychopathology and a barrier to service-seeking. This meta-analysis first examines whether individuals exposed to SV demonstrate higher shame than individuals who reported no SV exposure. Second, we assessed the strength of the associations between SV severity and shame severity. Seven databases were searched for studies published from inception to June 2023. Original studies that assessed SV and shame in at least 10 participants were eligible for inclusion. Random effects models examined shame differences between SV survivors and non-SV–exposed individuals and quantified the association between SV severity and shame severity. Meta-analyses of 53 studies (97 effects, N = 15,110) indicated that individuals exposed versus those not exposed to SV experience higher shame (g = 0.55), with medium effects found across SV timing (childhood/adolescence or adulthood) and shame subtypes (trait, body, trauma-related). SV severity was moderately associated with shame (r = .20), with strong correlations found between child/adolescent SV severity and trauma-related shame, and small effects found between adolescent/adult SV severity and trauma-related and body shame. Risk of bias ratings, whether contact SV was experienced, sample type, and gender moderated some models. Our findings suggest that shame is a clinically significant correlate of SV. Interventions that address shame may contribute to more positive outcomes for survivors.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Globally, there is no shortage of examples demonstrating lethal and non-lethal violence motivated, at least in part, by a hatred of women and girls because of their sex or gender. Such violence is not a new phenomenon. Despite this, there remains little consideration of sex/gender-based violence (S/GBV) motivated by hatred in the hate/bias crime literature, including a recent comprehensive review published in this journal. Drawing from a comprehensive scoping review of international literature, this article discusses why this might be the case, identifying both the benefits and challenges of treating sex/gender-motivated violence as a form of hate. The review examined primarily legal- and case-based analyses, grey literature, and some empirically based research articles, both qualitative and quantitative, the latter of which largely had only a peripheral focus on the question posed—the consideration or recognition of sex/gender-motivated hate that leads to violence. Themes surrounding benefits and challenges of doing so were identified. Among the findings was that, while there are valid arguments for and against the inclusion of, or emphasis on, S/GBV as a form of hate, what is largely absent from the body of literature is systematic, empirically based evidence examining the validity of the arguments identified, particularly in recent years. The article concludes by highlighting four broad research and policy priorities which can further (or arguably begin) the conversation about the role of hate in S/GBV.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Most if not all previous evidence focused primarily on psychological disorders of prisoners/ex-prisoners, whereas the secondary trauma symptoms across the whole family await clarification. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the associations between exposure to family incarceration and psychiatric symptoms and moderators of the associations. This systemic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines (CRD42023495095). Studies on the mental health of family incarceration from inception to March 4th, 2024 were searched in PsycINFO, PubMed, and Medline. Methodological quality was assessed. Meta-analysis of correlation coefficients r with the random-effects model was performed using “metafor” package in R. Fifty-three studies (34 non-duplicate samples, 2005–2024) with 101,417 people experiencing family incarceration across eight countries were included in the final synthesis. Participants aged 2 to 99 years. Most (96.23%) were conducted in high-income countries (i.e., Australia, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, the US, and the UK), with 3.77% in Mexico and Poland. Over half were longitudinal studies with follow-up periods from 2 to 53 years. Exposure to family incarceration was positively associated with psychiatric symptoms. Stronger effect sizes were found between incarceration and substance abuse disorder and externalizing disorders. Incarceration relates to secondary trauma symptoms in the long run among the affected families especially for children, African Americans in the US, and middle-income countries. Family-based intervention should be made to target the whole family with priorities on substance abuse disorder and externalizing disorders.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Child maltreatment is a major public and global health issue with well-documented intergenerational patterns. Social-emotional development, which is detrimentally impacted by child maltreatment, has been associated with parenting behaviors and implicated as a mechanism of intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment. This scoping review sought to synthesize information on the social-emotional skills that contribute to or protect against intergenerational maltreatment. Following the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis systematic scoping review methodology, 23 studies were identified as having met all inclusion criteria. Eligible studies were empirical, primary, peer-reviewed and published work written in English. Included studies contained a parental history of maltreatment, maltreatment or risk thereof to the child, and at least one independent parental social-emotional factor. Studies were organized, and findings were conceptually mapped according to Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) social-emotional competency domains. Key findings included determining self-management as the most well-studied CASEL competency area, whereas there was a paucity of research on relationship skills and responsible decision-making. Studies focused almost exclusively on assessing risk. The most well-documented risk factors for intergenerational maltreatment included parental emotion dysregulation, low self-control, aggression, and dissociation. Measurement and consideration of the developmental timing of maltreatment was identified as a critical oversight in the literature. Future work should explore developmentally specific models and elucidate more comprehensive profiles of social-emotional risk and resilience as a means of developing more effective prevention strategies.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Most people with a psychotic illness will never be violent; however, it is widely known that violence is more prevalent in this group compared to the general community, particularly during first-episode psychosis (FEP). Despite this, there is limited research into what contributes to this increased risk during FEP. The present systematic review aimed to identify whether certain risk factors are differentially associated with severity and timing of violence perpetration during FEP. The following databases were used to identify studies, up to March 8, 2024: MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and ProQuest. A total of 15 studies were included. Male gender, non-white ethnicity, history of violence, higher general psychopathology, and recent substance use were significantly associated with any violence, regardless of the time at which violence was committed. Serious violence was not associated with any risk factors. Higher general psychopathology was associated with any violence committed before presentation to services, while male gender was associated with violence perpetrated at service entry. Only male gender and unemployment were associated with violence committed after treatment. Based on our results, risk factors appear to vary according to the severity and timing of violence. These risk factors also overlap with those found associated with violence risk in the general community, and those correlated with the risk of psychosis. Past studies are limited in the range of risk factors studied and further work is needed to understand correlates of violence in people who have experienced FEP to inform treatment options.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Digital hate is typically targeted toward individuals or groups based on distinct attributes. Despite numerous studies on targets of digital hate, there is a lack of a systematic meta-perspective on targets’ perceptions of digital hate. Therefore, this scoping review aims to assess available definitions and characteristics of targets, consequences of digital hate together with targets’ reactions and coping strategies, dominant methodologies, and identified future outlooks of digital hate victimization research. To achieve this goal, we systematically searched two established databases (i.e., Web of Science and Scopus) for research published from 2020 onwards using a comprehensive search string of digital hate terms. Out of the 12,978 publications screened for eligibility, 230 studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. All selected studies were in English and featured targets of digital hate as the sample. The findings indicate a lack of conceptual clarity, a strong dominance of Global North perspectives, a scarcity of research on children, older adults, men, and people from minority groups, and a need for experimental and longitudinal quantitative research methods, as well as qualitative and mixed-method research. Most importantly, we found that victimization consequences and coping strategies adopted by targets have been researched without sufficiently accounting for inconsistently privileged and intersectional identities and without examining contextual effectiveness. This review, therefore, emphasizes the necessity of taking an intersectional approach to gain a thorough understanding of targets’ digital hate victimization experiences and both short- and long-term coping effectiveness.

Abstract: Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, Ahead of Print.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) persists as a cause of short-term, long-term, and chronic health consequences. The elevated risk of IPV during pregnancy and the postpartum period (P-IPV) is commonly attributed to increased demands for child bearers and intimate partners. P-IPV may impact the health of the child bearer, developing fetus, and post-birth child. The prevalence of physical P-IPV remains under-explored. The primary objective of the study is to describe the prevalence of physical P-IPV during the period from pregnancy through 24 months postpartum. Medline (PubMed), Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched (2000–2023) using the PICO model, MeSH terms, and Boolean operators. Studies with intimate partners exposed to physical IPV during pregnancy and the postpartum period that described the prevalence of IPV were included. Fifty-five studies were included. The sample-weighted average prevalence of physical P-IPV was calculated as 14.7% (range 0.6%–52.4%, n = 55). The sample-weighted average prevalence of physical IPV during pregnancy was calculated as 4.4% (0.6%–42.5%, n = 48). The sample-weighted average prevalence of physical IPV during the postpartum period was calculated as 10.3% (2.2%–52.4%, n = 16). The prevalence of physical P-IPV remains a looming threat to child bearer, fetal, and early childhood health. Given the>80% prevalence of IPV-caused brain injury (IPV-BI) from physical IPV, brain injury is likely occurring during pregnancy and the postpartum period and must be considered. Further investigations should be undertaken to uncover the true prevalence and impact of BI during this timeframe and mitigate the risk of P-IPV.
