It's best to use the term IPV (intimate partner violence) as DV is actually very broad - it can include any people who are related or any people living together even if they are not related. If you want to talk about all DV then men are a clear majority of victims as they are for all violence.


[[Intimate partner violence]] (IPV) refers to violence occurring between individuals in an intimate relationship. While [[domestic violence]] (DV) encompasses violence between any cohabiting or related individuals, the definition of IPV has expanded significantly since the 1960s. Initially limited to physical violence, IPV now includes a broader range of behaviors, with many countries recently incorporating [[coercive control]] into its definition.
Women are more likely to have serious injuries as a result of IPV but some recent research suggests that men are more likely to be injured overall.

Graphic showing a break-down of IPV.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to violence occurring between individuals in an intimate relationship. While domestic violence (DV) encompasses violence between any cohabiting or related individuals, the definition of IPV has expanded significantly since the 1960s. Initially limited to physical violence, IPV now includes a broader range of behaviors, with many countries recently incorporating coercive control into its definition.

Reciprocal Partner Violence

More than half of all IPV cases involve reciprocity, meaning both partners in the relationship act as both perpetrators and victims. This phenomenon, termed reciprocal IPV or reciprocal partner violence, was highlighted by the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge (PASK) Project, the largest meta-analysis of DV/IPV research to date. PASK found that 57.9% of IPV cases in large population samples are reciprocal.[1]

In unidirectional cases, PASK noted that female perpetrators accounted for 67% of incidents, while male perpetrators accounted for 33%. Western governments, mainstream media, feminists, and other interest groups often perpetuate the misconception that IPV is predominantly a male-on-female issue. However, research suggests that women are more likely to suffer serious injuries from IPV, while men are more likely to be injured overall in non-reciprocal cases.

Approximately 50% of all IPV is reciprocal, with both partners acting as perpetrators and victims. In non-reciprocal cases, women are perpetrators in about 70% of incidents. Injury rates are higher in reciprocal IPV, with the disparity being more pronounced for women than men. Notably, one of the most significant indicators that a woman may become a victim of IPV is if she is also a perpetrator. This underscores the importance of addressing reciprocal IPV in intervention strategies, as neglecting it may fail to protect both men and women.

FBI data from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s revealed that for every 100 husbands who killed their wives in the United States, approximately 75 women killed their husbands.[2] Research in Houston, Texas, further indicated demographic disparities: women accounted for over 40% of lethal domestic assault offenders during a 15-year study. Both victims and offenders were disproportionately Black, with Black women being equally or more likely than Black men to perpetrate intimate domestic homicide. Among non-Hispanic Whites, 63 female offenders were recorded for every 100 male offenders. In Hispanic cases, women were more likely to be aggressors in later periods of the study. For both Black and White populations, women were more likely to be perpetrators in non-marital relationships.[3]

Same-Sex Relationships

Studies indicate that male-male couples experience lower rates of IPV compared to male-female couples. Conversely, female-female couples report higher rates of IPV than male-female couples.[4][5][6][7]
