520 _aThis study used a representative sample from a birth cohort of 21-year-olds from the longitudinal Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study to investigate gender differences in partner violence. The research examined 13 correlates of partner violence across the five domains of: socio-economic status; social ties; substance abuse; mental health; and criminality. The study found that women are just as violent towards their partners as men, though male perpetrators were more likely to have deviant mental characteristics. Factors such as unemployment, low educational achievement, alcohol and drug misuse, mental health issues, few social supports, and criminality correlated with men's involvement in severe physical violence. Women victims of severe physical violence were more likely than men to experience anxiety symptoms. The authors discuss various theories surrounding gender differences in motivations for partner violence, and recommend further research in this area.
