| dc.description.notes | Organisation previously known as Queensland Centre for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence. To find all publications produced by the Queensland Centre both before and after the name change of 5 January 2004, use the hyperlink below the title, at the top of the page.<br/ >General Overview: This Australian article examines the view that violence is equally perpetrated by men and women, looks at Australian statistical evidence, and considers the role of Conflict Tactics Scales research and fathers’ rights groups in spreading misinformation.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The author, a university lecturer at Central Queensland University, reports that each year his students become more resistant to the idea that domestic violence is a problem of male violence. He reviews Australian Bureau of Statistics and other surveys and notes that while men are more likely to be victims of violence than women, over 80% of the perpetrators are males. Women are between three and seven times more likely to be victims of domestic violence than men and 60% of female homicide victims are killed by a male intimate partner. The article examines statistics for men and women’s experience of violence, sexual violence, family violence and homicide.<br/ ><br/ >The author notes that both Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS) research method and the fathers’ rights movements have contributed to the belief that violence is equally perpetrated by men and women. The author critiques the lack of context in CTS research. The author concludes that violence in general and domestic violence specifically is a gendered problem and that argues that its prevention is everyone’s responsibility. | en |
