Characteristics of a group of men imprisoned for gender violence and variables associated with violence against women

Abstract

Gender violence is a serious social problem that currently affects a significant number of women from different cultures. This paper presents a new perspective in addressing gender-based violence, as it focuses on delivering the features that have a group of men imprisoned for violence against women. We analyzed different sociodemographic and other related domestic violence or protection against it. The results of the study indicate that batterers compose a heterogeneous group, and not all can be included in existing typologies, so that work towards their reintegration and rehabilitation should be tailored to these characteristics.
