  • Descrição: We explored heterogeneity among a high-risk sample of men who perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV). Latent class analysis (LCA) was used on archival data for 244 adult men accused of physical IPV to determine the number of types of IPV perpetrators and to develop a profile of their scores on an IPV recidivism assessment instrument (Spousal Assault Risk Assessment). The LCA identified three distinct profiles. Approximately one-third of the sample was labeled IPV-specific (IPV-S; 28.9%), marked by an item pattern related to IPV behaviors. Another group, labeled generally violent/antisocial (GVA; 19.9%), were marked by a low probability of many IPV-related items and a pattern of general antisocial behaviors. Most of the sample (51.2%) consisted of men characterized by a diverse pattern of antisocial and IPV-S factors, referred to as the IPV and generally violent/antisocial (IPV/GVA group). When these profiles were compared on other variables, the IPV/GVA group had significantly more severe violent history scores (Cormier-Lang) and higher IPV risk scores (Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment; ODARA) than the IPV-S and the GVA groups. However, the GVA group and the IPV/GVA group had similarly high rates of general violent and IPV recidivism, whereas the IPV-S group had the lowest rates of general violent and IPV recidivism. Our findings suggest there is heterogeneity among higher risk IPV perpetrators and that some of that heterogeneity is relevant to the risk of recidivism. Public Significance Statement This study suggests that there are distinct subgroups of high-risk men who commit physical IPV and vary in underlying profile. Although preliminary, these results raise the possibility that consideration of profile in addition to overall risk score may yield more accurate estimates of the likelihood of recidivism and that intervention efforts may be enhanced through an understanding of which factors may be driving partner abuse for differing subgroups of men.
