Abstract: Purposes: The current study explores (1) the proportion of selected Chinese men and women who engaged in victimization, offending, and both victimization and offending and (2) risk factors shared by victims, offenders, and victim-offenders of intimate partner violence (IPV). Methods: The data were drawn from a larger survey project implemented in a rural village in China. A total of 979 married or cohabitating men and women were selected for the present study. Descriptive percentages and chi-square tests were performed to examine IPV prevalence rates and their differences for men and women. We applied multinomial logistic regression to identify risk factor for victims only, offenders only, and victim-offenders. Results: While the majority of male (74.8%) and female (72.9%) respondents reported no involvement in IPV, the second largest group of IPV involvement was pertinent to the dual role of victim and offender for men (19%) and women (17.7%). Also, the evidence points towards the shared characteristics of mental health symptoms and early violent socialization in IPV offending and victimization. Conclusions: Mental health is a pressing concern in China, and the provision of services in rural areas is far less than in urban areas. Thus, accessible services are urgent for those who are in need in rural areas. As much of IPV is reciprocal in the family context and adverse violence socialization in childhood heightens the risk of IPV overlap, IPV services should be available to both adults and children to maximize the effect of spousal abuse interventions and end the cycle of violence in families.
