dc.description.notesAn area previously neglected in research on family violence is the perspective of males. This study examined the expression of violence and triggers for violence as perceived by a sample of 146 separated males aged 24-80 years of age in Western Australia. 55.5% claimed to be non-violent throughout the marriage and during the process of separation; 41.7% reported being violent to their partner, either during their previous relationship, after separating, or both. Sixteen of these men (10.9%) were violent in both the relationship and the separation. Forty five men (30.8%) reported violence only in the relationship but not during separation, while 14 were violent (9.6%) only at separation. Children were present in 23% of cases. Almost half the respondents stated that violence was justified at least some of the time. The study identified patterns and men’s explanations of violence, the context in which violence occurred, men’s needs and support and what they thought could be done to end violence against women. ‘Fairness of the legal system’ (41.5%) was ranked most highly in response to the latter question, followed by ‘provision of counselling/support/education’ (36.9%). Discusses implications for individual and societal responses.en
