Current research suggests a link between childhood abuse, psychopathic traits, and violent behavior. However, previous studies neglect evaluating the influence of high levels of cumulative childhood victimization on the development of psychopathic personality traits in emerging adults. The present study examined the relationship between polyvictimization in six aggregate categories of childhood victimization using the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ-R2) and psychopathic personality traits in college women using the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R). This study first examined the relative contributions of polyvictimization and individual categories of childhood victimization in predicting psychopathic traits, and then tested whether polyvictimization contributes any unique variance, beyond that explained by the combination of all 6 aggregate categories in a sample of 309 college women in a Southern state. Regression analyses reveal that (1) polyvictimization accounts for a significant proportion of variability in PPI-R scores, beyond that explained by any of the six categories of childhood victimization alone, (2) the categories of childhood victimization contribute little to no variability beyond that explained by polyvictimization, and (3) polyvictimization accounts for a significant proportion of variability in psychopathic personality traits, beyond that already explained by the simultaneous entry of all six categories as predictor variables. It results in further understanding of the underpinnings of psychopathic personality traits.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a major public health issue for street-based female sex workers (SBFSWs), particularly in low- and middle-income countries like Bangladesh. There is a vast knowledge gap regarding the underlying issue; therefore, the authors aimed to perform this study to contribute to the literature by exploring the prevalence and associated factors of the severity of GBV based on secondary data collected from SBFSWs by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in 2021. In Bangladesh, it was revealed that about 95% of the SBFSWs had experienced GBV of any form. The prevalence of physical and sexual violence was more than 81% and 78% among SBFSWs, respectively. It was worthwhile to note that more than 40% of SBFSWs experienced all forms of GBV. Results also revealed that age, education, monthly income, marital status, group sex, negotiation for fees, client load, and consistent condom use had a significant effect on the severity of GBV among SBFSWs. Policymakers are recommended to take proper actions considering the magnitude and direction of the effects of the associated factors to reduce the prevalence of GBV among SBFSWs and help to access other jobs, which will contribute to improving several Sustainable Development Goals.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) against men has become a serious and widespread public health issue, but limited research about the occurrence of female-to-male violence is available, as most studies on the subject have focused on female victims only. The study aims to determine the pooled prevalence and predictors of physical, emotional, and sexual violence against men across all recall periods and the potential risk factors of male victimization. Databases of PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct, EMBASE, and JSTOR were searched. Data were extracted from studies published in 2010 to 2022. A systematic review and Random effect meta-analyses for the pooled prevalence were performed. Thirty studies with 58,357 participants were included in the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of Physical IPV was 20% (95% CI: 11–28%), Psychological IPV was 44% (95% CI: 30–59%), and Sexual IPV was 7% (95% CI: 3.1–10%) in Victimization for all recall periods, respectively. Findings demonstrated psychological IPV as the most prevalent form of IPV among men, which suggests that effective attempts are required to develop related prevention programs for victims. Furthermore, gender, age, substance abuse, socioeconomic status, multiple sex partners, history of abuse, and childhood victimization were found to be the predictors of IPV among men. Implementations of policies are also needed to reduce IPV. The findings of the study were discussed in terms of counselling and interventions.

Sexual violence is a serious public health problem that affects about half of women and almost a third of men. This high prevalence demands more research on understanding sexual violence and its victims and perpetrators. However, at the crux of understanding sexual violence is understanding consent. Past research and advocacy work for consent have traditionally focused on communication and perceptions of consent, but other research has argued that this focus overlooks the numerous ways power, privilege, and marginalization affect the context of consent. Proponents of critical sexuality studies argue for a deeper understanding of consent through an examination of identity and the larger systemic contexts wherein consent takes places. This article seeks to examine how these contextual factors manifest in identity-related issues of consent through a critical sexuality lens. What follows then is a brief historical review of the psycholegal history of consent in the United States, and how that history connects to modern issues of sexual violence. Then a review of consent research highlights the gap between historical understanding and scientific understanding of consent. Finally, the article concludes with recommendations for future research.
