Changing Violent Men
by Rebecca Emerson Dobash, Emeritus Professor of Criminology Russell P Dobash, and Dr Kate Cavanagh
Published 1 January 1999
Changing Violent Men is based on the evaluation of British criminal justice responses and treatment programmes for men who use violence against a woman partner. Court enforced abuser programmes are compared with more traditional sanctions such as fines and probation. Qualitative and quantitative data are used to delineate patterns of personal change and to allow the men and women involved to speak about their lives and the impact of criminal justice interventions upon them.
