What challenges do mentors in peer mentorship with intimate partner violence survivors face?
According to the first of today's Five Studies About: Intimate Partner Violence
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays (and sometimes Saturdays?), Five Studies About is a free tip sheet where I curate recent crime and justice studies related to one topic. Today’s topic is intimate partner violence.

These new crime studies related to intimate partner violence were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Peer Mentorship for Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence: A Pilot Program Highlighting Challenges and Opportunities for Further Refinement [Violence Against Women]
2. Voices Behind the Chair: Training Needs in Addressing Sex Trafficking and Intimate Partner Violence Among Indiana Salon Professionals [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
3. Affective Barriers to Accessing Professionalized Intimate Partner Violence Services Among LGBTQ People in Australia [Violence Against Women]
4. Understanding Gender Differences in Acceptance of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women: Are Women Truly More Accepting Than Men? [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
5. Factors Influencing Attitudes Toward Intimate Partner Violence Among Married Women: A Multilevel Analysis Across 20 Low- and Middle-Income Countries [Violence Against Women]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my newsletter where I report on criminology and criminal justice research. If any sound interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Five Studies About and Crime Research Update are the output of my research discovery system.
