The study made use of Goffman’s (1971) concept of ‘remedial work’ to analyse men’s and women’s accounts of men’s responses to violence. Remedial work involves the perpetrator try to change the meaning of the offensive act to something more acceptable.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: :The authors describe the ways violent men try to minimise their violence. The types of remedial work identified included denial, blame, minimisation, reduced competence, apology and demands. The study revealed that few of the men interviewed were willing to accept complete responsibility for their abusive behaviours.en
