3. The timing and duration of poverty can also influence the relationship

4. Next steps should be to test promising poverty-reducing interventions to establish if the relationship is causal

2. ‘Poverty’ is not one experience and research operationalises it in different ways. Dimensions of poverty (income, housing, neighbourhood) can change the relationship in different ways

In terms of how, the mechanism via which IPA relates to violent extremism is exposure, where men who perpetrate IPA actively seek out and inadvertently come into contact with people, places, or settings, both online and offline, which share their worldview, including their attitudes towards women.

We found that men who had perpetrated intimate partner abuse scored higher on measures of susceptibility to violent extremism. In terms of why, our results suggest the overlap is rooted in the underlying gendered attitudes towards violence against women which can underpin both types of violence.

IPA is increasingly linked to violent extremism in public discourse and high-profile case studies. Traditional divisions between 'private' violence and 'public' violence are being challenged. This study explores whether and how IPA relates to susceptibility to violent extremism.
