Abstract

This study examined relationship abuse, firearm threats, and threat credibility factors as well as help-seeking for (ex)partner-stalking victims with partners who did (n = 153) and did not own guns (n = 263). Victims with (ex)partners who owned guns experienced increased coercive control and physical violence, a longer duration of stalking, and more threats during the relationship and during the course of stalking. Victims reported that (ex)partner gun owners had more extremist beliefs and other risk factors, and more of them believed their (ex)partner was extremely capable of harming them. Most, regardless of partner gun ownership, turned to informal sources of help, while about one-quarter of victims whose partners did not own guns tried to obtain a protective order or talked to police, compared to about 40% of stalking victims with abusers who owned guns. Fear of harm from guns, coercive control during the relationship, and believing their partner was capable of harming harm them were all associated with an increased number of help-seeking sources whereas being threatened with a firearm and abuser gun ownership were not.

我们应该在前伴侣跟踪案件中多关注枪支威胁吗?
这项研究调查了关系虐待、枪支威胁和威胁可信度因素,以及寻求(前)伴侣跟踪受害者的帮助,他们的伴侣有枪(n = 153),而伴侣没有枪(n = 263)。拥有枪支的(前)伴侣的受害者经历了更多的强制控制和身体暴力,更长的跟踪时间,以及在关系中和跟踪过程中更多的威胁。受害者报告说,前伴侣拥有枪支的人有更多的极端主义信仰和其他风险因素,更多的人认为他们的(前)伴侣极有可能伤害他们。不管伴侣是否拥有枪支,大多数人都求助于非正式的帮助来源,而在伴侣没有枪支的受害者中,约有四分之一的人试图获得保护令或与警察交谈,而在拥有枪支的施虐者的跟踪受害者中,这一比例约为40%。对枪支伤害的恐惧、关系中的强制控制以及相信伴侣有能力伤害自己都与寻求帮助的人数增加有关,而受到枪支威胁和施虐者拥有枪支则与此无关。
