Surveys reveal that domestic abuse is more commonplace among
teenagers and young adults than older populations, yet surprisingly
little is written about young men's involvement in it. Reporting on
a three-year study based in the UK, this book explores young men's
involvement in domestic abuse, whether as victims, perpetrators or
witnesses to violent behaviors between adults. Original survey
data, focus group material and in-depth biographical interviews are
used to make the case for a more thoroughgoing engagement with the
meanings young men come to attribute to violent behavior, include
the tendency among many to configure violence within families as
"fights" that call for acts of male heroism. The book also
highlights the dearth of services interventions for young men prone
to domestic abuse, and the challenges of developing responsive
practice in this area. Each section of the book highlights further
online resources that those looking to conduct research in this
area or apply its insights in practice can draw upon.
