Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
Gender-based and domestic violence are pervasive issues that affect individuals and communities all around the globe. Despite the efforts of the last decades to diminish the prevalence of both types of violence and mitigate their impacts on people's lives, evidence shows the urgency of addressing the themes through effective approaches.
In this Special Issue, we encourage submissions of original research, reviews, and theoretical papers that advance understanding of gender-based and domestic violence and contribute to developing innovative strategies for prevention, and intervention with both victims and offenders.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Gender-based violence against women;
- Gender-based violence against migrants and refugees;
- Domestic violence against older people;
- Domestic violence against LGBTI+ people;
- Child and youth abuse in the context of family;
- Adverse child experiences and risk;
- Intimate partner violence;
- Femicide and marital homicide;
- Intrafamily sexual violence;
- Dating violence;
- Sexual harassment;
