Notes:	This book profiles the behaviour of domestic violence (DV) perpetrators. It evolved from the work of Don Hennessy and his co-workers who initiated the 1991 Cork Domestic Violence Project (CDVP) which became the fulltime National Domestic Violence Intervention Agency (NDVIA) in 2002. In counselling hundreds of women who participated in the CDVP, Hennessy was able to form a picture of the tactics used by the male abuser. His view is that DV is perpetrated by men who are motivated by a sense of entitlement to 'sexual priority' and that this sense of entitlement also motivates the tactics of power and control which the perpetrator exerts on his target. It is this motivation which sets the male perpetrator of intimate partner violence apart from female perpetrators of male violence and elder abuse.
