- The different contexts of domestic violence before and during the COVID-19 pandemic : a Portuguese overviewPublication . Ribeiro, Rita; Almeida, Iris; Saavedra, Rosa; Caridade, Sónia; Oliveira, Ana; Santos, Manuela; Soeiro, CristinaThe COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent restrictions impacted the world in numerous ways. These restrictions resulted in victims of domestic violence spending more time with their abuser, contributing to a rise in requests for help. The contexts for domestic violence include intimate partner violence (IPV), abuse of children/adolescent and victimization of the elderly within the family. This article compares the prevalence of domestic violence contexts between a pandemic and a non-pandemic year. Based on the assessment of data, taken from a Service Management Platform (PLAGA) and provided by the Portuguese Association for Victim Support (APAV), 12,576 requests from 2019 to 2020 were analyzed. Findings revealed that a 13.3% increase in requests for help, mainly from child/adolescent victims, was registered in 2020 compared with 2019, with a 100.7% increase solely during the lockdown period. Physical and psychological violence, often reported by victims of IPV, children/adolescents and elders, also increased during this period. Requests for help through distance support increased substantially in the pandemic year. The importance of support for victims during the pandemic and the need for new support strategies have been highlighted if victims, bystanders and professionals are to be assisted.

- Fatores de proteção em arguidos de violência nas relações íntimasPublication . Rolo, André; Moreira, Vera; Lopes, Ana Isabel; Domingues, Hugo; Almeida, Iris"O Gabinete de Informação e Atendimento à Vítima (GIAV) inserido na 7ª Secção, Unidade contra a Violência Doméstica, do DIAP de Lisboa efetua assessoria técnica aos magistrados, tendo como uma das suas funções a avaliação de risco de violência nas relações íntimas. A recolha de dados aos arguidos foi realizada desde Novembro de 2011 a Junho de 2015, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas e com a aplicação do SAPROF. Os arguidos são predominantemente do sexo masculino (N=60), contabilizando-se 6 arguidos do sexo feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 23 e os 80 anos (M=45.23; DP=11.93). Na avaliação dos fatores de proteção, 63.6% dos casos foram classificados com proteção baixa, 34.8% com proteção moderada e 1.5% com proteção elevada. Salientam-se os seguintes fatores de proteção como os definitivamente presentes mais comuns nos casos estudados: trabalho (48.5%), atitudes face à autoridade (28.8%) e gestão financeira (24.2%), contrastando com os fatores de coping e controlo externo que não foram considerados em nenhum caso como definitivamente presentes. De modo semelhante aos fatores de risco, devem igualmente considerar-se os fatores de proteção para a avaliação do caso e para a sua intervenção, tendo sido possível nesta investigação observar quais os fatores de proteção que necessitam de um acompanhamento mais próximo por parte do psicólogo."
- Gendered perspectives on intimate partner violence : a comparative study of general population, students and professionals’ beliefsPublication . Almeida, Iris; Ramalho, Ana; Morgado, Rafaela; Baúto, Ricardo VenturaDomestic violence is a worldwide crime recognized as a severe violation of Human Rights, which includes Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). The studies remark that the asymmetries in the social relations between men and women result in domination dynamics. Thus, this study analyzed the relationship between gender and IPV beliefs in the general population, university students, and healthcare/safety/justice professionals by comparing IPV legitimization between men and women and with age. The sample was composed by 3413 Portuguese participants, 1551 men (45.4%) and 1826 women (54.6%), aged 18 to 100 (M = 37.97; SD = 18.09), 1936 participants from the general population (56.7%), 866 university students [e.g., healthcare students] (25.4%) and 611 healthcare/safety/justice professionals [e.g., doctors, psychologists, police officers, lawyers] (17.9%). The sample filled out the Scale of Beliefs about Marital Violence (ECVC), a self-report scale on beliefs about IPV. Results confirmed our hypothesis that men have significantly higher levels of IPV legitimization than women. In accordance with our second hypothesis, significant positive correlations were found between age and IPV beliefs. As age increases, older people tend to be more tolerant of IPV, and young people tend to be less endorsing such IPV beliefs. Finally, we found the hypothesis that university students and healthcare/safety/justice professionals have lower levels of beliefs compared with other participants in the general population. Findings show that we need to work hard with the social evolution in men’s and women’s beliefs on IPV, reinforcing the importance of targeting IPV prevention by gender and age in the general population but also in students and professionals.

- Intimate partner violence risk assessment in victims information and assistance officePublication . Almeida, Iris; Pires, Ana Rita; Nobre, Carolina; Marques, Joana; Oliveira, PatríciaThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the work developed by the Victims Information and Assistance Office (GIAV), and its role as technical advisor to the Lisbon Public Prosecutor’s Office, specifically about Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) risk assessment. GIAV plays a key role in assisting the Public Prosecutor’s Office as the main response to cases with higher complexity and it provides support about measures to protect victims. The sample (n = 258) is derived from the IPV risk assessments of GIAV. Results show us that moderate and higher risk are the most common levels in IPV risk assessment and main risk factors. Defendants had more beliefs about IPV than victims.
- Personality and Aggressive Behavior: the relation between the five-factor and aggression models in a domestic violence suspects samplePublication . Baúto, Ricardo Ventura; Carreiro, Ana Filipa; Pereira, Margarida; Guarda, Renata; Almeida, IrisThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate the relationship between the five-factor model of personality and its association with aggression in 30 men and eight women who are suspects of domestic violence. The results show a positive correlation between neuroticism and hostility, a negative correlation between openness to experience and overall aggression, a negative correlation between agreeableness and physical aggression and anger, and a negative correlation between conscientiousness and anger. These results show us the need for personality assessment in domestic violence suspects and future research about personality and aggression.
