Book Description
Addressing the problem of men's violence to known women, this book considers the scale of, and critically reviews the theoretical frameworks used to explain this violence. From the perspective of `critical studies on men', Jeff Hearn discusses issues, challenges and possible research methods for those researching violence. He draws on extensive research to analyze 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 book concludes with a summary of the key issues for theory, politics, policy and practice.

Book Description
THE REHABILITATION OF PARTNER-VIOLENT MEN “Informed by theory and evidence, this text offers a full account of a pressing social problem.” Professor Clive Hollin, School of Psychology, The University of Leicester, UK “This is a book which clearly sets out the history, theoretical developments, interventions and possibilities for the future within a UK context. It is an excellent source of good information about where we are and an excellent springboard for future developments in both research and practice.” Professor Liz Gilchrist, Department of Psychology, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK “Erica Bowen’s book The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men is a timely and important contribution to the literature of effective interventions. The content would be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners” Dr. Nicola Graham-Kevan, School of Psychology, University of Central Lancashire, UK Violence within intimate relationships is not just a modern occurrence; yet, while the nature of the abuse has changed little over hundreds of years, great strides have been made in dealing with male perpetrators of domestic violence in the UK. The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men presents an historical account of the policy changes that have led to the provision of rehabilitation programmes for male perpetrators of intimate partner violence within the British criminal justice system. Drawing on both national and international literature, the book provides an overview of the theoretical foundation behind current approaches to rehabilitation, as well as a critical examination of evaluation methodology and an appraisal of the effectiveness of current practices. While probing deeply into the nature of intimate partner-violence, The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men offers rich and revealing insights into the efficacy of intervention programmes, and their profound influences on the lives of millions of women around the world each year.

Book Description
What does it mean for men to join with women as allies in preventing sexual assault and domestic violence? Based on life history interviews with men and women anti-violence activists aged 22 to 70, Some Men explores the strains and tensions of men's work as feminist allies. When feminist women began to mobilize against rape and domestic violence, setting up shelters and rape crisis centers, a few men asked what they could do to help. They were directed "upstream," and told to "talk to the men" with the goal of preventing future acts of violence. This is a book about men who took this charge seriously, committing themselves to working with boys and men to stop violence, and to change the definition of what it means to be a man. The book examines the experiences of three generational cohorts: a movement cohort of men who engaged with anti-violence work in the 1970s and early 1980s, during the height of the feminist anti-violence mobilizations; a bridge cohort who engaged with anti-violence work from the mid-1980s into the 1990s, as feminism receded as a mass movement and activists built sustainable organizations; a professional cohort who engaged from the mid-1990s to the present, as anti-violence work has become embedded in community and campus organizations, non-profits, and the state. Across these different time periods, stories from life history interviews illuminate men's varying paths--including men of different ethnic and class backgrounds--into anti-violence work. Some Men explores the promise of men's violence prevention work with boys and men in schools, college sports, fraternities, and the U.S. military. It illuminates the strains and tensions of such work--including the reproduction of male privilege in feminist spheres--and explores how men and women navigate these tensions.

Book Description
The award-winning “radically original” (The Atlantic) restorative justice leader, whose work the Washington Post has called “totally sensible and totally revolutionary,” grapples with the problem of violent crime in the movement for prison abolition A National Book Foundation Literature for Justice honoree A Kirkus “Best Book of 2019 to Fight Racism and Xenophobia” Winner of the National Association of Community and Restorative Justice Journalism Award Finalist for the Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice In a book Democracy Now! calls a “complete overhaul of the way we’ve been taught to think about crime, punishment, and justice,” Danielle Sered, the executive director of Common Justice and renowned expert on violence, offers pragmatic solutions that take the place of prison, meeting the needs of survivors and creating pathways for people who have committed violence to repair harm. Critically, Sered argues that reckoning is owed not only on the part of individuals who have caused violence, but also by our nation for its overreliance on incarceration to produce safety—at a great cost to communities, survivors, racial equity, and the very fabric of our democracy. Although over half the people incarcerated in America today have committed violent offenses, the focus of reformers has been almost entirely on nonviolent and drug offenses. Called “innovative” and “truly remarkable” by The Atlantic and “a top-notch entry into the burgeoning incarceration debate” by Kirkus Reviews, Sered’s Until We Reckon argues with searing force and clarity that our communities are safer the less we rely on prisons and jails as a solution for wrongdoing. Sered asks us to reconsider the purposes of incarceration and argues persuasively that the needs of survivors of violent crime are better met by asking people who commit violence to accept responsibility for their actions and make amends in ways that are meaningful to those they have hurt—none of which happens in the context of a criminal trial or a prison sentence.
