This article focuses on men's long-term journeying towards non-violence through exploring the concept of secondary desistance. The author, from Scotland, draws on his qualitative research with men who have completed a men's domestic violence perpetrator programme. The author invites the reader to reflect on how programme providers can support those factors that might enable long-term, sustainable change, and what this means for programme structure, longevity and funding.
