ROJAS-SOLIS, José Luis; ROJAS ALONSO, Ismael; MEZA MARIN, Rebeca Nataly  and  VILLALOBOS RAYGOZA, Ariadna. Violence between Gay Couples and Men who have Sex with other Men: a Systematic Exploratory Review. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.1, pp.173-186.  Epub May 19, 2021. ISSN 1794-3108.

Violence between gay couples and men who have sex with other men is a serious problem that has captured the international scientific community's attention. For this reason, this systematic exploratory review explores these couples' conceptualization of violence, as well as the prevalence of types of violence and associated factors in various studies. Databases, such as Scopus, Clarivate, EBSCO, Science Direct, Scielo and La Referencia, were searched following a PRISMA protocol. Of 292 total initial references, 19 articles, which complied with inclusion criteria (publications between 2000 and 2019 with open access and full text), were analyzed by means of a debugging process divided into four phases. Among the main results, the lack of homogeneity in definitions of violence, as well as their subtypes, higher representation of samples from the United States, the fact that psychological violence was studied most, and that protective factor analysis and detection were practically nonexistent stood out. The results and implications are discussed, prioritizing the need for more studies in Latin America.
