Other Titles:	Feminism & Psychology
Authors:	Flood, Michael
Year:	2011
Notes:	The theatre-based intervention describedin the previous issue of Feminism & Psychology (Rich, 2010) is one of a wave ofprogrammes and strategies focused on males. Using that intervention as a spring-board, this article asks: why should we engage men and boys in preventing violenceagainst women, what strategies are under way and do they work? Educational inter-ventions among males often invite them to become active or pro-social bystanders,taking action to stop the perpetration of specific incidents of violence, reduce therisks of violence escalating and strengthen the conditions that work against violenceoccurring (Powell, 2010: 6–7). However, engaging men in challenging rape-suppor-tive norms and behaviours is hard work. This article concludes by discussing thebarriers to, and supports for, men’s bystander interventions
