Research project An ethnographic exploration of treatment within Social Services for men who has perpetrated violence

Research questions among others are how can we theoretically understand men´s accounts of their violence against women, what happens and why does it happen in a treatment group for men who has perpetrated violence against a female partner. Further, I explore the perspectives of the social workers on central themes in the thesis such as men´s violence, intimate relationships and treatment. Finally, I seek to explain how treatment for men emerged as a solution to the social problem of men´s violence against women.
