Journal of Interpersonal Violence is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on interpersonal violence, including domestic violence, intimate partner violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and elder abuse. The journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical analyses, policy-relevant reviews, and methodological reports that intersect with fields such as criminology, psychology, public health, sociology, and social work. It is published by SAGE Publications and serves researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in multiple disciplines.
The journal was established in 1986 amid rising scholarly attention to issues highlighted by events and institutions such as the Battered Women's Movement, the emergence of centers like the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and policy developments exemplified by the Violence Against Women Act. Early editorial leadership reflected networks connecting scholars associated with institutions like Johns Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Minnesota. Over decades the journal tracked shifting research priorities prompted by cases and phenomena linked to My Lai Massacre-era discussions on trauma, the influence of longitudinal datasets from projects at Harvard University and Yale University, and the expansion of international collaborations with researchers from King's College London, University of Toronto, and Australian National University.
The journal's scope spans quantitative and qualitative investigations of interpersonal violence across contexts such as families, schools, workplaces, and correctional settings. Typical submissions examine outcomes connected to programs championed by organizations like World Health Organization, United Nations, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Articles often reference major longitudinal cohorts and datasets from entities including Framingham Heart Study, National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, and international surveys coordinated by UNICEF and Eurostat. Interdisciplinary contributions cite theoretical frameworks rooted in work by scholars affiliated with Stanford University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, and Oxford University.
The journal is published by SAGE Publications and issues appear on a frequent schedule consistent with other titles in SAGE's social science portfolio alongside journals connected to publishers like Elsevier and Wiley-Blackwell. The editorial board has included editors and associate editors from research centers at University of California, Berkeley, Brown University, Duke University, and George Washington University. Peer review processes are conducted with standards comparable to reviews managed by editorial offices at The Lancet, American Journal of Public Health, and Criminology. Manuscript submissions undergo desk review and anonymous peer review, and accepted work may be indexed alongside articles in journals such as Journal of Trauma, Child Abuse & Neglect, and Violence Against Women.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in major bibliographic databases and indexing services similar to PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. Institutional repositories at universities like Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Michigan frequently harvest metadata. Citation metrics are tracked by services provided by Clarivate Analytics and Elsevier which compile impact data used by funding bodies including the National Institutes of Health and agencies such as the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
Scholarly reception positions the journal among leading specialty outlets for research on interpersonal violence alongside journals connected to professional societies such as the American Psychological Association and the American Society of Criminology. Its articles have influenced practice guidelines and policy debates involving legislators in bodies like the United States Congress and policymaking institutions such as the European Commission. Citation patterns show cross-disciplinary uptake in publications from universities including Princeton University, Cornell University, McGill University, and University of Sydney and in reports by NGOs like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Notable articles have addressed topics such as prevalence estimation methods used in national studies referenced by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports, longitudinal analyses comparable to work from National Institute of Justice, and meta-analyses that synthesize intervention evidence cited by World Health Organization. Special issues have focused on themes paralleled by global initiatives from United Nations Women, responses to events that shaped public attention like high-profile criminal cases tried in courts such as the International Criminal Court, and methodological innovations influenced by statistical work at institutions like Carnegie Mellon University and London School of Economics.
