• Community-based Norms About Intimate Partner Violence: Putting Attributions of Fault and Responsibility into Context (2005, background): “The advice and instrumental support provided to IPV victims by family and friends can have a profound influence on their decision to continue in or to leave an abusive relationship (Anderson et al., 2003; Heggie, 1986; Horton & Johnson, 1993).”
• Representative Bureaucracy in Policing: Does It Increase Perceived Legitimacy? (2014, background): “One study, for example, found that among domestic violence victims who sought help from public agencies, 77% called the police and 61% filed a complaint against the abuser (Anderson et al. 2003).”
• Still blaming the victim of intimate partner violence? Women’s narratives of victim desistance and redemption when seeking support (2016, methodology): “…context of IPV suggest that it is the victimized person who engages in questionable behavior or who displays blemished character traits, thus attracting stereotypical attitudes and discriminatory responses associated with being stigmatized (see, for example, Anderson et al., 2003; Lempert, 1997).”
