基于经验的行为和心理类型学的发展提供了明确的证据，表明犯罪者的类型不同。对文献的回顾和综合揭示了当前类型学研究中常见的三种类型的施暴者--低、中、高风险施暴者。对这些类型的检查表明，大多数男性罪犯不会随着时间的推移从低风险水平上升到高风险水平。这一观察驳斥了之前关于研究人员普遍共识的说法，即殴打的频率和强度会随着时间的推移而升级。每种类型都有特定的特征，这些特征建立了不同于每种分类的阈值。因此，犯罪者不太可能从一种类型转移到另一种类型。针对犯罪者小样本的需要而采取的干预措施可以更有效地保护那些面临未来暴力风险最大的人。通过类型学的棱镜解决虐待妇女的问题对研究、政策和实践都具有重要的意义。
The development of empirically based behavioral and psychological typologies provides clear evidence that offenders vary across types. A review and synthesis of the literature reveals three types of batterers common across current typology research—a low, moderate, and high-risk offender. Examination of these types demonstrates that most male offenders do not escalate over time from low to high levels of risk. This observation refutes previous claims regarding a common consensus among researchers that battering escalates in frequency and intensity over time. There are particular characteristics specific to each type that establish thresholds distinct to each classification. Thus, it is unlikely that an offender will move from one type to another. Interventions targeted to address the needs of subsamples of offenders can lead to more effectively protecting those most at risk for future violence. Addressing the issue of woman battering through the prism of typologies has significant implications for research, policy, and practice.
