Book Description
Domestic violence in gay male relationships is the third largest health problem for gay men in America today. Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them breaks the silence surrounding gay male domestic violence and exposes this hidden yet prevalent and destructive problem. The authors paint a vivid picture of gay men’s domestic violence, bringing its brutality to life by including personal narratives, written by one of the authors, by clearly defining what it is and what it is not through lists of violent acts and criminal code categories, and by thoroughly examining and analyzing the criminal, mental health, medical, political, and interpersonal issues involved. The authors boldly depart from the battered women’s literature by asserting that batterers have a diagnosable mental disorder, that battering is not gender based, and that much further criminalization of domestic violence is necessary. Striving for victim advocacy, the book underscores the idea that gay men’s domestic violence is totally unacceptable and is caused solely by individual abusive gay men who choose to batter. The book builds on and departs from what is known about domestic violence, with the authors challenging several fundamental premises in the literature, unabashedly identifying battering as a mental disorder. The authors explain that victims cannot stop their battering partners from battering and virtually all batterers choose to harm their partners in a premeditated fashion. The authors provide practical steps and suggestions for victims who want to leave and stay away from their violent partners and for friends who want to help battered gay men. Chapters describe the scope of the problem and refute myths and misconceptions. There are several detailed theory chapters in which the authors explain why gay men’s domestic violence occurs, who the batterers are, who the victims are at different stages of victimization, and how domestic violence can be stopped. A visionary, wide-ranging governmental and private plan of action is introduced, including lists of necessary laws and policies, as well as outlines of strong education, training, and advertising problems needed in various sectors of society. As a self-help book, Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them provides practical information on a never-before discussed topic. As a trainer’s manual or teaching guide, it includes specific criteria for understanding the problem and for providing treatment.

Book Description
Intimate partner violence is difficult to measure and assess in heterosexual couples given the high levels of social and personal stigma associated with being a victim of the violence. This issue is made more difficult when such violence occurs in gay male couples. Hidden even from their own community, gay victims of domestic violence struggle to receive help and treatment for their abuse. A major purpose of this paper is to highlight issues associated with intimate partner violence through a comprehensive literature review. A second purpose of this research is to obtain another indicator of the prevalence of gay male intimate partner violence. This was accomplished by constructing three scales of abuse types. In addition to providing researchers and other professionals with theoretical and health considerations about the intimate partner violence problem for gay men, it includes validation for these measures. Similar to interpersonal violence for heterosexual couples there were significant correlations among the three types of abuse experienced (physical, psychological and sexual). The thesis concludes with recommendations for future research and programs needed for this population.

Book Description
Nationally representative studies confirm that LGBTQ individuals are at an elevated risk of experiencing intimate partner violence. While many similarities exist between LGBTQ and heterosexual-cisgender intimate partner violence, research has illuminated a variety of unique aspects of LGBTQ intimate partner violence regarding the predictors of perpetration, the specific forms of abuse experienced, barriers to help-seeking for victims, and policy and intervention needs. This is the first book that systematically reviews the literature regarding LGBTQ intimate partner violence, draws key lessons for current practice and policy, and recommends research areas and enhanced methodologies.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to expand the knowledge surrounding same-sex partner violence, by attempting to identify some common predictors and correlates of partner violence among gay males. This study focused particular attention examining: (1) How age, income, education, and race impact the likelihood of being a victim of gay male domestic violence? (2) How an individual's affiliation with the gay community impacts their likelihood of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) victimization? (3) How childhood sexual victimization and childhood abuse by a parent impacts the likelihood of being a victim of gay male domestic violence? and (4) What the relation is between use of alcohol and being a victim of partner violence? To address prior methodological limitations of small snowball and convenient sampling in research, this study utilized the Urban Men's Health Study (UMHS). The UMHS is a large probability telephone sample of men who have sex with men from the geographic city limits of 4 major U.S. cities. Almost 1 out of 4 (24%) respondents (N = 2,881) had experienced IPV in the past five years, while 4% indicated they were forced into sex by their partner in the past five years. Results found that those variables significantly related to IPV were age, HIV-positive status, alcohol frequency, childhood sexual abuse, childhood abuse, and witnessing parental abuse. Predicted probabilities were then calculated to further examine HIV-positive status, alcohol frequency, and childhood sexual abuse. Regarding intimate rape victimization, age, childhood sexual victimization, and childhood abuse each significantly predicted the probability of respondents being raped by an intimate partner. A predicted probability was calculated to highlight the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner rape victimization. Education, race, and gay affiliation did not have a significant relationship to either IPV or intimate rape victimization.

Book Description
This book uses various theoretical perspectives to summarize what is known about the multiple causes of men's violence against women, and stresses the importance of identifying men's risk factors. The preliminary multivariate model identifies four content areas: macrosocietal; biological; gender role socialization; and relational factors to explain men's violence against women. Within these four content areas the editors develop thirteen preliminary hypotheses about the causes of men's violence against women, which are critiqued by the contributors in the subsequent chapters.

Book Description
Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships provides a comprehensive analysis of same-sex domestic violence, addressing the major theoretical and treatment issues for both its victims and perpetrators. Its contents raise awareness among social service providers, of the problem of same-sex domestic violence and emphasize the need for special services for both victims and perpetrators. The publication of Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships signifies the growing official recognition of domestic violence within lesbian and gay relationships as a social problem worthy of serious attention and intervention. Editors Renzetti and Miley begin by providing readers with an overview of the problem of same-sex domestic violence and the responses of the domestic violence movement and other social service providers. Chapters then move to discussions of the current scarcity of services available to lesbian and gay victims and perpetrators of domestic violence and then evaluate specific treatment modalities for these client groups. Significantly, the special needs of lesbians and gays of color and those with HIV/AIDS are discussed. Chapters contain: an historical overview of the study of same-sex domestic violence a review and evaluation of theoretical explanations of same-sex domestic violence an analysis of major problems in service provisions to gay and lesbian victims of domestic violence suggestions for and evaluations of specific treatment modalities an analysis of how racism intersects with homophobia to exacerbate the consequences of domestic violence an analysis of the role of HIV/AIDS in same-sex domestic violence Contributors to this volume were actively addressing the problem of same-sex domestic violence before it was officially “discovered.” Some were motivated by their experiences as victims and survivors of same-sex domestic violence, others by their concern about domestic violence in general. As a compilation of the writings of academics, clinicians, advocates, and activists, Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships bridges disciplinary and occupational boundaries and promotes a dialogue across fields and specialties. Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships is unique in that it is the only book available which comprehensively addresses the social service needs of gay and lesbian domestic violence victims and perpetrators. Specific suggestions are offered for improving service providers’ responses to gay and lesbian victims of domestic violence. Social workers, counselors, practitioners and clinicians will find it especially useful, given that it addresses the effectiveness of particular treatment modalities for lesbian and gay victims and perpetrators.
