Vulneración de las órdenes de protección por parte de hombres condenados previamente por violencia de pareja

Abstract

The present study analyzes protective order (PO) violation characteristics in men who had previously been convicted of an offense of intimate partner violence. One hundred and thirty-one condemnatory sentences relating to 80 aggressors are analyzed. Different types of harassment (telephone, domiciliary, going to public places frequented by the victim, etc.) were identified. These behaviors were grouped into three categories: manipulation and seeking reconciliation afterwards, control, monitoring and surveillance, and violence against the victim. The death threats to the victim or people close had occurred in 31.3% and 48% of aggressors who came back to living with his former partner assaulted her again. In conclusion, the OP does not guarantee the ending of abuse or harassment and women who return to her relationship with her ex-partner aggressor are at risk of being re-victimized. The implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.
