Perpetrator interventions
An outcome of the National Plan is that “Perpetrators stop their violence and are held to account”. To achieve this outcome, ANROWS is dedicated to improving the evidence base for working with people who use violence.
ANROWS research explores interventions with perpetrators of violence in Australia, including men’s behaviour change programs and other community-based responses, as well as interventions in the context of the criminal justice, child protection and family law systems.
The 2023–2027 People who use domestic, family and sexual violence research program is currently underway.
Below is a collection of resources, papers, reports and research projects relating to perpetrator interventions.
