dc.description.notesExamines the emergence of ‘men’s behaviour change programmes’, identifying some of the earlier concerns voiced by women’s groups and the various policy adjustments which have sought to accommodate these concerns. Argues that while the development of such programmes has demonstrated potential, several issues remain unaddressed. These issues are discussed within the context of the Victorian Whole of Government Discussion Paper and include: concerns that the government’s overall policy strategy is not informed by a feminist analysis; doubts surrounding whether or not women and children’s safety is being given paramount consideration; a shift in focus away from structural and cultural change towards individual change; the lack of emphasis on domestic violence as a criminal offence requiring a legal response; the absence of mechanisms to ensure programmes adhere to NTV standards; the blurring of distinctions between voluntary and mandated programmes and the lack of acknowledgement of the importance of such distinctions; failure to emphasise the difficulties associated with evaluating men’s programmes and the need to continue to support women’s programmes; and a minimal understanding of the complexity of issues raised by men’s violence against women. Contends that support for men’s behaviour change programmes is misguided if it remains unqualified.en
