Authors:	Laing, Lesley
Year:	2002
Publisher:	University of New South Wales, Australian Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse
Notes:	Developing a response to men who use violence and abuse in their intimate relationships is one of the most controversial issues facing the field. Debate tends to centre most strongly around the issue of treatment/education programs for perpetrators, often with people adopting polarised positions either ‘for’ or ‘against’ the development of such programs. Many of these debates can be understood as being about at which level – the individual, the institutional, or the social – efforts to end violence against women and children, are best directed. Are efforts best directed at the men who use violence? At the institutions, such as the criminal justice system and mental health services, which have not always responded appropriately to the crime of violence and the impacts of violence on women, or to developing a society that does not tolerate violence and that promotes gender equity?
