Complexity of Patterns of Violence Against Women in Heterosexual Partnerships

Minna Piispa

Statistics Finland

Research on violence against women presents quite a stereotyped picture of the victims ofpartnership violence. There are important distinctions between the types of violence,characteristics of the victims and perpetrators, and the cultural contexts in which violenceoccurs, but the homogeneous image excludes these. The stereotyped picture of partnerviolence makes it difficult for both women themselves and professional helpers toidentify partner violence and its mechanisms. The objective of this article is to show thediversity of partnership violence by using survey data.

Key Words: heterosexual partnerships • patterns of violence • violence
