Introduction: Perpetrated and experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health problem. One of the most studied associated variables has been child-juvenile victimization (CV). Objective: To analyze the role of IPV in IPV in the general population of Argentina, considering the specific modalities of violence both suffered and perpetrated, and possible differences between men and women. Method: We surveyed 243 adults in Argentina. Their sociodemographic data, the VI and the VP perpetrated and suffered in adulthood were assessed by means of the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ) and the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2). Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to calculate associations between variables. Results: 99% of the total sample indicated having suffered at least one act of VI, with no differences between sexes. Regarding perpetrated and suffered PV, both sexes presented similar prevalences, with the only exception of perpetrated sexual violence, which was significantly higher in males (41.70%) than in females (19.10%). The associations recorded between VI and VP were specific. Conclusions: The associations suggest that certain types of VI constitute a risk factor for certain types of VP in adulthood. Implications of the findings for prevention and research are discussed.
