dc.description.abstractThis article examines how men's discussions about domestic and family violence (DFV) and behavioural change reinforce gender hierarchies that contribute to violence. Drawing on interviews with men who have completed a perpetrator program, the study builds on the work of Hearn (1998) to explore how conceptualisations of change reflect and shape discourses on masculinity, responsibility, and violence. The findings indicate that DFV perpetrator interventions serve as a platform for the performance of dominant masculinities, reinforcing the gendered discourses that underpin and sustain men's violence.en_US

Through a partnership between Flinders University and a non-government organisation, this project will evaluate a pilot scheme based on safe-at-home principles, thereby contributing to both the development of, and evidence base concerning, perpetrator-focused responses to domestic and family violence. <br><br><b>Aims:</b> The project aims to build conceptual and practice understandings as a critical basis for strengthening responses to domestic and family violence, encompassing the infrastructure, program and policy elements required to address the needs of both perpetrators and victims. Its particular focus is on exploring the place of perpetrator accommodation services in domestic and family violence responses. <br><br><b>Methods:</b> As a qualitative project, this research will produce a detailed picture of the perpetrator accommodation model incorporating an evaluation of the program within its sociopolitical context. Phase 1 will systematically document the policy drivers and local context for the perpetrator accommodation model as well as its particular program logic, guiding principles, practices and elements. Phase 2 will review existing research, providing the basis for a process evaluation and highlighting the intersections of theory, implementation and practice. Phase 3 will generate empirical data through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with male perpetrators (service users). <br><br><b>Significance:</b> Perpetrator accommodation programs are capturing policy attention for their potential to cut through the housing, safety and wellbeing challenges of women and children while aligning with the growing emphasis on perpetrator accountability. This important and timely research project will contribute to the limited evidence base concerning domestic and family violence responses that focus both on men as perpetrators of violence and on the safety of women and children. It will also enable a focus on the specific significance of accommodation in the domestic and family violence context.en_US
