Future research on bystanders’ perspectives and experiences is crucial to identify the barriers they experience and how their needs could potentially be supported in combating domestic violence. 4/4

[Carlijn van Baak @carlijnvanbaak]

Further, we see some differences between intimate terrorism (IT) and situational couple violence (SCV). In IT, concerns related to the well-being of the woman (sometimes including fear for lethal abuse), whereas in SCV the involvement of children appeared to be crucial. 3/4

[Carlijn van Baak @carlijnvanbaak]

Results indicate that bystanders report when there is a clear need of help, centering the well-being of victim(s). Reporting is often part of a continuum of actions, is often done as a last resort and tends to impact the bystander emotionally. 2/4

Just out in Journal of Interpersonal Violence (w/ @v_eichelsheim, Don Weenink & @MarieLindegaard)! Relying on case file data, we analyze why bystanders report IPV to a domestic violence agency in the Netherlands. 1/4 https://t.co/djGVTY1H4S

We argue that sociocultural aspects of FGM and early marriage need to be considered in policy & research, in particular the age at which these practices occur, as this may further exacerbate women’s vulnerability to IPV victimization. 6/6

Just out in @JOFVTweets ! Using data from Demographic and Health Surveys, we analyze risk factors of physical intimate partner violence (IPV) for women in Sierra Leone – a post-conflict sub-Saharan African country w/ some of the highest rates of IPV. 1/6

FGM & early marriage by itself were not associated w/ risk of IPV. Yet, experiencing FGM between age 10-14 was associated w/ higher odds of IPV. For women aged <30, those who experienced FGM age <10 and were married between age 10-14 had highest odds of IPV victimization. 5/6

@beatrichMH @NSCR_Instituut @behayes4 @HomicideStudies Thanks Bea!

[Carlijn van Baak @carlijnvanbaak]

Our article, w/ Cooper Maher & @behayes4, on the last statements by death row offenders prior to execution just got published in @HomicideStudies! 1/7 https://t.co/uTptwfzBBn

[Carlijn van Baak @carlijnvanbaak]

Offenders' accountability has previously been found to improve victim’s next of kin’s well-being. This information could be used to prepare next of kin for the execution, and it could be worthwhile to consider restorative justice efforts within the capital punishment system. 7/7

[Carlijn van Baak @carlijnvanbaak]

More practically, these findings suggest that victim’s next of kin who witness the execution are generally more likely to be exposed to statements that indicate offenders' accountability rather than a justification. 6/7
