| contents | Perceived Reportability of Intimate Partner Violence against Women to the Police and Help-seeking: A National Survey Joel Juarros-Basterretxea Natalia Fernández-Álvarez Javier Torres-Vallejos Juan Herrero Psicología Help Police seeking Formal help Reportability The literature has consistently found that victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women are reluctant to make their situation visible and report it to the police. Whether victims perceive and define IPV behaviors as reportable is key to understanding in which cases the police are seen as potential providers of help or whether other potential sources of help (family, friends, professionals, etc.) are preferred. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the influence of perceived reportability of IPV on women’s selection of the police as a source of help compared to not seeking help or selecting other sources of help. Structural equation modeling was applied to data from 479 female participants drawn from a nationally representative sample of 1,112 male and female Chilean adolescents and young adults conducted by the National Youth Institute of Chile. The results showed that perceived reportability was a significant predictor of choosing the police as a source of help compared to other informal sources of help, such as family and friends. However, perceived reportability did not affect help-seeking choices between the police and other formal help sources (psychologists, public services). Participants’ IPV victimization and attitudes toward IPV also played a specific role in selecting the police as a source of help. These findings highlight the complexity of the visibility of women’s IPV victimization to the police and the need to examine its explanatory mechanisms. 2024 artículo científico 1132-0559 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=179877822005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1798/179877822005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1798/179877822005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1798/179877822005/179877822005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1798/179877822005/movil https://doi.org/10.5093/pi2024a3 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1798 Psychosocial Intervention application/pdf Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid Psychosocial Intervention (España) Num.1 Vol.33 |
