Item Open Access Do women misreport domestic violence: evidence from couple data(2019-06) Vergili, Ali YasinThe literature on domestic violence against women excessively employs survey data in which there is only women side of the violence. In this study by benefiting from a couple data, we use both men and women reporting of violence to understand if education has an impact on violence reporting. Common factors can affect violence reporting and endogeneity problem arises. This paper exploits an exogenous increase in mandatory years of schooling in Turkey to avoid endogeneity problem arises from education. The emphasis of the paper is on the connection between reporting violence behavior of couples and their education. Schooling reform increased junior high school completion rate by 10 ppt for married women and 16 ppt for married men in the sample. Increased schooling of women raises the probability of underreporting psychological violence while it reduces the probability of over-reporting physical violence. Hence one should be careful inferring causal relations from onepartner data while studying on sensitive behaviors.Item Open Access Meta-analysis and systematic review for the treatment of perpetrators of intimate partner violence(Elsevier, 2019) Karakurt, G.; Koç, E.; Çetinsaya, Ezgi Elif; Ayluçtarhan, Zozan; Bolen, S.Aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of different batterer intervention programs in reducing violence for male IPV perpetrators. The Cochrane Handbook for Systemic Reviews of Interventions guidelines for the process of conducting systematic reviews and meta-analysis were followed. Pooled together, overall these various intervention programs are effective in reducing violence for male perpetrators of IPV comparing post to pre-intervention [(pooled estimate = -0.85; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) (-1.02 to -0.69)]. Exploratory subgroup analysis revealed that incorporating substance abuse or trauma components to the interventions yielded better results (substance abuse: CI = -3.20 to -1.08 and trauma: CI = -2.63 to -0.30) as compared to programs that did not have these components. Gender-role based batterer intervention programs yielded mixed results. Analysis of the three controlled studies with 223 participants comparing batterer programs to a minimal control group showed mixed effects. In conclusion, treatment strategies that are addressing highly comorbid issues such as substance abuse and trauma issues may work more effectively in preventing violence.
