Research

Our research

Violence against women and children affects everybody. It impacts on the health, wellbeing and safety of a significant proportion of Australians throughout all states and territories and places an enormous burden on the nation’s economy across family and community services, health and hospitals, income-support and criminal justice systems.

About ANROWS

ANROWS was established by the Commonwealth and all state and territory governments of Australia to produce, disseminate and assist in applying evidence for policy and practice addressing violence against women and their children.

I am interested in …

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 men who use violence.

ANROWS has a dedicated perpetrator interventions research program to explore 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.

Below is a collection of resources, papers, reports and research projects relating to perpetrator interventions.
