Abstract
Over the past three decades, the literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) has seen advances by including the victimization of same‐sex individuals. An understanding of interpersonal violence within gender and sexual minority populations has been largely overlooked in the criminal justice system and among victim advocacy organizations in the United States, despite the substantial harm produced by violence in relationships…This report provides an overview of the literature on same‐sex partner violence to encourage and facilitate appropriate, culturally‐sensitive service provision and response among advocates, social service agencies, and criminal justice system personnel.
