The Role of Defendant Gender and PTSD Diagnosis in a Battered Spouse Case Journal of Interpersonal Violence (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2024-06-22 Rebekah Adair-Russell, Krystia Reed, Maria F. Torres
A quarter of women and 11% of men report being survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) during their lifetimes in the United States. Despite being victims themselves, people who kill their IPV abuser can still be subject to criminal proceedings. Given this complexity, the law has employed battered spouse syndrome (BSS) as a tool used in some jurisdictions to support a claim that an IPV survivor
