Men who act abusively have their own story to tell, a journey that
often begins in childhood, ripens in their teenage years, and takes
them down paths they were hoping to never travel. Men Who Batter
recounts the journey from the point of view of the men themselves.
The men's accounts of their lives are told within a broader
framework of the agency where they have attended groups, and the
regional coordinated community response to domestic violence, which
includes the criminal justice workers (e.g., probation, parole,
judges), and those who staff shelters and work in advocacy. Based
on interview data with this wide array of professionals, we are
able to examine how one community, in one western state, responds
to men who batter. Interwoven with this rich and colorful portrayal
of the journey of abusive men, we bring twenty years of fieldwork
with survivors and those who walk alongside them as they seek
safety, healing and wholeness for themselves and their children.
Women who have been victimized by the men they love often hold out
hope that, if only their abusers could be held accountable and
receive intervention, the violence will stop and their own lives
will improve dramatically as a result. While the main purpose of
Men Who Batter is to highlight the stories of men, told from their
personal point of view, it is countered by reality checks from
their own case files and those professionals who have worked with
them. And finally, interspersed within its pages is another theme:
finding religious faith or spiritual activity in unlikely places.
