Research examining the mental health impacts of violence against women is trending, highlighting the psychological aftermath and the importance of trauma-informed care in recovery processes. - Economic Abuse and Financial Independence:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Gender Roles and Violence:
Research explicitly focused on traditional gender roles as a singular factor in violence against women seems to be waning, possibly due to a broader recognition of intersectional influences. - Historical Analysis of Violence:
There is a noticeable decline in papers primarily dedicated to historical analyses of violence against women, as contemporary issues and immediate responses take precedence in research. - Victim Blaming Narratives:
While still relevant, the frequency of studies solely focused on victim-blaming narratives appears to be decreasing, indicating a shift towards more survivor-centered research that emphasizes empowerment. - Quantitative Studies with Limited Contextualization:
The journal seems to be moving away from purely quantitative studies that lack in-depth contextual analysis, favoring qualitative approaches that capture the complexities of lived experiences. - Focus on Female Perpetrators:
Research on female perpetrators of violence against women is less frequently highlighted, as the discourse increasingly centers on victim experiences and systemic issues.
