Penal Protection Orders and Intimate Partner Violence in the Netherlands: An Application of the Empowerment Process
1Law, Society and Crime, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Abstract:
This study analyzed the experiences of 20 survivors of violence by partners with penal protection orders (POs) issued against them to explore the extent to which, how, and when POs (dis)empower. The results show that the extent to which POs result in survivors' enhanced sense of safety and ability to move on with their lives is dependent on specific circumstances and the PO impact on their sense of self-efficacy, including whether they obtain PO-related knowledge, report violations, refrain from contact with the ex-partner, and expect and received support from the criminal justice system and others. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
