520 _aThis research used a sample of 360 couples from the Dunedin Longitudinal Study to analyse aspects of intimate partner abuse. The researchers found that both males and females were perpetrators of abuse. The personal characteristics of both the male and female in the couple were found to increase the likelihood of partner abuse. The findings suggest that domestic violence interventions aimed solely at treating the male as the perpetrator may not succeed in reducing the incidence of abuse. Therefore, intimate partner abuse prevention programmes should target males and females as both perpetrators and victims of abuse.
