Young Men and Domestic Abuse
| Description | The project found that over half of 13-14 year olds school children sampled had some direct experience of domestic abuse, whether as victims, witnesses or perpetrators. Nearly half had experienced at least one type of domestic abuse in their relationships; a quarter had carried out at least one abusive behaviour; over a third had witnessed abuse between parents. We found that most young people think that it is wrong to hit a partner, but many can think of exceptions to this rule, most typically when a partner has hit them first or cheated on them. Boys are more likely than girls to endorse such exceptions. Both boys and girls regarded violence from women to men as more socially acceptable than violence perpetrated by men against women. When young men construe domestic violence as a 'fight' it becomes possible to see how acceptance of 'hitting back' among many young men and young women contributes to a set of dynamics in which those young men who are unprepared to 'lose' perpetrate grievous assaults against female partners. Pervasive concerns about trust help explain apparent contradictions in many young men's attitudes towards domestic abuse, including their apparent willingness to excuse particular instances of violence that they would ordinarily condemn if described more abstractly. Class-based and racialized forms of stereotyping fuse with loosely psychological theories to enable some young men to distance themselves from those they deem 'real' perpetrators. Among those young men known to service providers in the criminal justice system there are also substantial overlaps in experiences of victimization, exposure to abuse between parents and problems with violence perpetration towards partners, parents and step parents. The experience of living with adult men who were cruel makes it harder for some to recognise their own seemingly less calculating forms of violence as abuse. Many of those who have grown up in homes where there were problems with crime, domestic violence and drug abuse have found it necessary to become skilled in the capacity to threaten physical force: a skill they sometimes use to confront men whom their mothers or ex-partners are dating. Some of those who have behaved in controlling ways towards partners are, nevertheless, desperate not to become the kinds of men their fathers were despite struggling to negotiate their own relationships. The research found that attitudes can be changed through relationship education programmes. Social marketing can encourage young people to reflect critically on their own behaviour, though it can also elicit defensive reactions. It is shameful to see oneself as a potential perpetrator and easier to blame failings in a particular relationship for abuse. Few boys are keen to seek help if they experience violence in their own relationships. Those in trouble are often distrustful of teachers and social workers. Containing and constructive responses to young men who have been violent and/or abusive can also help them, in time, to identify with those they have hurt, but there are few service providers that young men can self-refer to. |
| Exploitation Route | The research can be used to: 1. Inform the development of policy and practice on domestic abuse prevention, including preventative intervention, family intervention work, social marketing and perpetrator programmes. 2. It may also be of use to film makers, journalists and those producing resources for young people that require primary accounts of young people's involvement in violence. To date five academic articles, one book chapter, and three non-academic articles have been published. A book about the project has been commissioned by Routledge and is deliverable in Oct 2014 and co-authored between the project team and linked PhD student (Alger). Together with Professor Hydén, Professor Gadd is editing a collection on Responses to Violence for Palgrave. On the project's website other outputs include an extensive 'how-to' research toolkit, videos, blogs, prezis and powerpoints, press releases, reports and publications. The research findings have been promoted in many presentations, events and media opportunities and directly to the Home Office, Scottish Parliament, Welsh Government and to NICE, EAVW (Ending Violence Against Women Coalition) the NSPCC, the Children's University, and the RESPECT Young People's Practitioner conference. The research was presented to audiences of academics, policymakers, police, probation, educational psychologists, social workers, domestic violence support workers and organisations campaigning against domestic violence in Keele, Birmingham, Bristol, London, Manchester, and Edinburgh totalling in excess of 500 participants. In the final project event, panel members representing RESPECT, Women's Aid, EVAW, the Home Office, Youth Justice Board, MsUnderstood Partnership, Greater Manchester Police discussed the significance of the research and the impact it would have in their own particular contexts. Gadd and Fox have both given interviews and participated in discussions that have been released through newspaper articles, radio and television broadcasts; including a BBC Newsbeat feature and discussion with MP Jeremy Browne on Radio 4's Woman's Hour. The Home Office have confirmed that this research has directly informed the development of their campaign approach. The research was also shared in a meeting with the Children's Commissioner. The research impacted directly on ARCH, the evidence enabling them to secure further funding to continue delivering their education intervention. It also supported the case made for a new intensive mentoring programme for high risk perpetrators in Coventry. Many practitioners have commented that the evidence has served to verify their own practice, beliefs and experiences, impacting on their confidence to continue and further develop strategies, programmes and interventions that they implement. In its first year, the project's website had over 5000 visits. Emails to promote the research findings have been sent to all Local Authorities in the UK, through the Educational Psychology forum EPNET, through several mailing lists via colleagues working in Sociology/Social Work and via Facebook and Twitter. There are 340 individuals on the project dissemination list. In addition to the pdf copies of the reports that are free to download, 400 copies of the three key findings reports and 200 copies of the recommendations document have been printed and distributed in hard copy. The NSPCC have added copies of all four reports to their library. |

| Description | A primary aim of the research was to establish what more can be done to reduce the number of young men who become perpetrators. This research, alongside European Commission funded research into preventative education (READAPT), shows the importance of helping young people cope with the effects of domestic violence and enhancing their resilience to it. The From Boys to Men Project then published a report with a set of recommendations as follows: • Preventative education should be mandatory in schools. There is also a need to engage teenage boys who have been excluded from school. • Social marketing has the potential to open a thoroughgoing conversation between young people and adults about the nature of domestic abuse and what can be done to engage those boys and men who begin to perpetrate it. • There is a need for service provision that addresses young men's feelings of vulnerability, rage and powerlessness while also being sensitive to the ways in which mothers and female partners can be blamed for a host of social, familial and personal problems. • There is a need to develop skills in the field of working with younger male perpetrators. A two year related project - the READAPT project -funded by the European Commission's DAPHNE III violence prevention, aimed to help young people cope with the effects of domestic violence and enhance their resilience to it. To date our findings have been used to: 1. Inform the guidance RESPECT, a national umbrella organisation, produces to inform the development of violence prevention services. 2. Inform the development of social marketing aimed at young people, as developed by Central Government. 3. Provide training content for Coordinated Action Against Domestic Abuse (CAADA) and Safe Lives: national charities that support multi-agency and risk-led response to domestic abuse. 4. To support further evaluation of domestic abuse prevention education programmes. 5. Inform media stories on the prevalence of domestic abuse among young people and to raise awareness of the dearth of service provision in this area. 6. To advise practitioners and policymakers. 6 key findings and guidance documents are available on the project website, together with video resource material. 7. To inform students of the advantages of mixed methodological approaches to social sciences and highlight the challenges of achieving impact. 8. Presentations were made to the NSPCC, EVAW and Barnardos. David Gadd also presented research evidence at NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), 17th April 2013. 9. The research report and subsequent recommendations have been discussed with policymakers including the Home Office, the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Executive and were used in 2017/18to inform a POST note on preventative domestic violence education in schools. 10. The research was presented as evidence at the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights inquiry into Violence against Women and Girls (2014). The research is cited in the report https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/jt201415/jtselect/jtrights/106/106.pdf 11. David Gadd presented research findings and recommendations to Welsh Government, Cardiff, 17th June 2013, the Cross Party Group on Men's Violence Against Women and Children, Scottish Parliament, 15th May 2013, and the the VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) Strategy Group, 12th April 2013 |

| Results and Impact | This seminar reported emerging findings from the ESRC funded 'From Boys to Men' project. Using the responses of domestic abuse perpetrators exposed to the UK Government's 'This is Abuse' campaign film, the seminar demonstrated how contradictory identifications with both anti-violence messages and victim-blaming discourses are negotiated by those young men prone to perpetrating domestic abuse. It concluded by exploring the implications of this for those working to prevent domestic violence. |
