abstract="This article presents gender, age, and race comparisons of perpetrators of adult intimate partner violence (IPV) obtained from: (a) a mid-size metropolitan police department, (b) a victim advocacy agency located in the same city, and (c) a batterer intervention program also in the same city. Results showed found that: (a) the overwhelming majority of IPV perpetrators were male, (b) perpetrators were likely to be between the ages of 20-39, (c) racial demographics varied with the type of IPV intervention agency, and (d) People of Color were over-represented in police calls. This effort confirms the importance of obtaining information from varied community sources in order to provide a more complete picture of local IPV perpetrator demographics, especially racial characteristics.",
