Product Description:
The problem of men's violence to known women - principally their wives, partners and girlfriends - is at last becoming more widely recognized. The Violences of Men addresses this issue within the broad context of men's use of power and violence in society.
Jeff Hearn considers the scale and character of men's violence against women, and critically reviews the theoretical frameworks that are used to explain it. From the perspective of `critical studies on men', he discusses issues, challenges and possible research methods for those studying and researching violence, and particularly men's violence to known women. He then draws on extensive research to analyse the various ways in which men describe, deny, justify and excuse their violence, and considers the complex interaction between doing violence and talking about violence. The author goes on to examine agencies' responses to men's violence, ranging from avoiding a response to policy and practice innovations and possibilities. Finally, he notes ways that some men may move away from violence.
The Violences of Men makes an important contribution both to theoretical debates about how to understand men's violence, and to debates on appropriate policy and practice in response to that violence.
Review `This book can be read in many different ways, for example as a research report, a discussion of research methods, an example of deconstructing interview accounts, a theoretical debate on men's violence, or a series of recommendations on professional practice. It provides a good example of how theory, empirical research and professional practice can be integrated and will hopefully encourage individual practitioners and agencies to develop more proactive responses to violence by men to known women' - British Journal of Social Work
`This is a highly readable and informative text. Men's violence towards women remains a pressing issue and texts such as this, which deconstruct men's accounts of violence and consider the links between articulating and doing violence are, therefore, highly valuable.' - Sociology
