| dc.description.notes | General Overview: This article discusses the role of Men’s Behaviour Change Programs [MBCPs] in a rural context, based on the authors’ experience of facilitating two MBCP’s in Gippsland, Victoria.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The authors discuss the challenges of running MBCPs. They contend that MBCPs can further compound family violence. To prevent this, the authors advocate for an integrated approach between MBCPs and other kinds of violence prevention services, ensuring accountability and transparency. They argue that an interagency approach will result in an informed sector where MBCPs’ work alongside already established community strategies to end family violence and are accountable to services for victims of violence.<br/ ><br/ >The authors advocate for consistency in the court system for both victims and perpetrators of family violence. They argue that men’s violence must be considered criminal yet rehabilitation needs to be prioritised. Furthermore, they argue that it is important for men to take responsibility for their own violence and do not recommend mandating men to attend MBCPs.<br/ ><br/ >The particularities of the two programs run in Gippsland are outlined. This includes information about the process of referral, the demographics of the men involved, components of the program, the way they are run and the philosophy that underpins them. The authors conclude by arguing for MBCPs as a legitimate and successful violence prevention strategy. | en |
