This report describes a project to raise general public awareness of men's violence to women and to propose ways of dealing with the problem.
Abstract
The CHANGE Project was established in September 1989 following work by individuals from Women's Aid and the legal, academic and social work professions. The project's main aims are to deliver a criminal-justice-based re-education program for men who have been violent to their wives or female partners, to encourage collaborative interagency practice over domestic violence, to offer training and consultancy to other professionals working in this area, and to raise general public awareness of the issue of men's violence to women. The report presents information in the following chapters: Staffing and Management; CHANGE's Perspective on Men's Violence; Independent Research Report; The Men's Program and the Training Manual; Prison-Based Work; Teaching, Training and Conferences; National Practitioners' Network; Future Plans; and Statement of Principles.
