Research on police involvement in cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) focuses mainly on best intervention strategies and often neglects the key prerequisite of any intervention: the victim’s decision to contact the police. This article concentrates on the circumstances that make IPV incidents more likely to be reported to the police, and it also analyses the reasons for victims’ not reporting and for their distrust of the police. It makes use of data from the Czech part of the International Violence Against Women Survey, which allows us to analyse the reporting behaviour of 709 female victims of IPV. The reporting rate among them is very low – only 8%. Logistic regression models of reporting confirmed the high relevance of the features of the particular incident and revealed also several factors related to the history of violence in the relationship; on the other hand, the victim’s resources were found to have no influence. Distrust of the police proved to be an important factor for not reporting to the police (29% of women), and further analysis of this factor suggested the possible occurrence of learned helplessness syndrome among some victims. An additional substantial outcome of this study is its highlighting of the importance of different forms of psychological abuse (threats vs. control) which have diverse effects on victims’ reporting behaviour.

Contemporary the issue of violence against women has found its place in public discourse. It seems that the mythology of violence (the description of misconceptions about it) was a very important factor in the process of developing „social vigilance” against this phenomenon. Publicizing the problem of violence against women was a result of The Battered Women’s Movement. The need to struggle with the mythology of violence underlined the leading representative of this movement L.E.A. Walker: „It is important to refute all the myths surrounding battered women in order to understand fully why battering happens, how it affects people, and how it can be stopped”. The aim of the study is to examine the myths about domestic violence – those of the 1970s and 1980s, when The Battered Women’s Movement began to develop, and those of today. The verification of the opinions dealing with the phenomenon was based on scientific literature. Three categories of myths were analyzed: the nature, causes and consequences of violence. Modern literature suggest that there has been a dramatic change in public convictions about intimate partner violence – some opinions considered in the past as mythical has become the truth and vice versa. Social changes also led to the creation of new myths e.g. violence is typical for heterosexual relationships. Such processes carry a risk of flawed perception of violence by society. This is why preventive actions should not only indicate the presence of violence in our direct surroundings, but also update the general knowledge about it.

The article focuses on gender differences in perpetration and victimization in the area of intimate partner violence among university students through gender symmetry and reciprocity in violence analysis. Dataset comes from a pilot study supported by the Czech Science Foundation. The analysed sample included 312 students from 6 Czech universities. The results show that in comparison to Czech population the sample is specific in its higher prevalence of less sever violence and gender symmetry. Higher victimization was revealed within male population. The symmetry was also found at perpetration. The reciprocity was higher in cases of psychological violence compared to physical violence.

Intimate partner violence is defined as a form of violence where, in an intimate relationship, physical or psychological acts of violence are committed by a partner or spouse against the other partner or spouse. All of these actions are accompanied by extremely emotional dynamics, which is paradoxical, as we would expect that with the gravity of abusive and violent acts the victims will understand the need for self-protection and appropriate measures. There is a strong emotional bond between the victim and the abuser, which authors call traumatic bonding. It is an emotional dependence between two people in a relationship that is characterized by the feelings of intense attachment, cognitive distortion and behavioural strategies of both individuals that paradoxically strengthen and maintain the bond, which is reflected in a vicious cycle of violence. The termination of such a relationship or the departure from it, from the point of view of attachment which is activated in this situation, seems risky, since the victim seeks refuge in the state of perceived danger, but experiences that - after the outbreak of violence calms down - the refuge is paradoxically offered by the bully. Here we can recognize a pattern of dysfunctional affect regulation that falsely calms difficult (basic) affects and maintains a violent relationship. From the viewpoint of Relational Family Therapy, it is therefore necessary for victims that after breaking off a violent relationship or leaving it they face their painful basic affects and develop proper regulation of these, otherwise they will remain committed to this kind of relationship. Using the case study method, the paper describes the case of a client after she left a violent intimate relationship, with an emphasis on the demonstration of traumatic bonding dynamics and the resolution of their consequences in Relational Family Therapy.

The paper explores the role of fostering moral-democratic competencies for violence prevention, in particular in the relation to genderbased, intimate partner and domestic violence. Additionally, significant emphasis is placed on the prevention of revictimisation. Violence prevention is framed with regard to the political importance of violence-free homes and intimate relationships for the empowerment of women. The paper refers to the complex situation of women subjected to abuse and the effects of violence on an individual. As a countermeasure, the paper proposes the development of moral-democratic competencies, and recommends the Konstanz Method of Dilemma Discussion® as an example of an efficient method to accomplish this task.
