Although the number of perpetrators has been consistently identified as a measure of abuse severity, only a minority of studies of domestic violence examine the role of multiple offenders. Data on multi-perpetrator domestic violence (MDV) is frequently removed from analysis in domestic violence studies, or multi-perpetrator incidents are treated as single-perpetrator incidents. However, the available research links MDV to negative mental and physical health outcomes, intimate partner homicide, homelessness among women, and severe mental illness and suicidality. This article reviews the available prevalence data on MDV and draws together research on the contexts in which MDV takes place. It highlights two groups that are particularly vulnerable to MDV: (1) girls and women partnered to members of gangs and organized crime groups and (2) girls and women in some ethnic minority communities. While discussions of honor in relation to domestic violence are often racialized in Western media, this article highlights the cross-cultural role of masculine honor in collective violence against women in the working class and impoverished communities of majority cultures as well as in migrant and ethnic minority communities. It is clear that such complex forms of violence present a range of challenges for intervention and treatment and the article emphasizes the need for specialized and coordinated modes of investigation, support, and care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838013511542","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,11]],"date-time":"2013-11-11T20:36:21Z","timestamp":1384202181000},"page":"102-112","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Multi-Perpetrator Domestic Violence"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Salter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Science and Psychology, University of Western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524838013511542","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1077801207306019"},{"key":"bibr2-1524838013511542","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2206.2010.00735.x"},{"key":"bibr3-1524838013511542","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/10778010022182173"},{"key":"bibr4-1524838013511542","volume-title":"Violence against women: Estimates from the redesigned survey Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report","author":"Bachman R.","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr5-1524838013511542","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0011128795041004008"},{"key":"bibr6-1524838013511542","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.bjc.a014103"},{"key":"bibr7-1524838013511542","volume-title":"Crimes of the community: Honour based violence in the UK","author":"Brandon J.","year":"2008"},{"key":"bibr8-1524838013511542","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17523281.2012.703224"},{"key":"bibr9-1524838013511542","first-page":"395","volume":"7","author":"Brown V.
