A groundbreaking report has unveiled critical gaps in Australia’s largest study of men’s behaviour change programs, revealing missed opportunities to effectively engage men who use violence.
Despite significant investment and program development, the study highlights shortcomings in maintaining visibility of risk and holding perpetrators accountable. The findings stress the need for more tailored approaches to enhance victim-survivor safety, reduce recidivism, and improve overall program effectiveness.
