520			_aThis book examines the issue of partner abuse against men. The author is an investigative journalist, and was formerly the Executive Director of the PACE Institute for Families in Transition in Portland, Oregon. The material is United States-based with some reference to Australian, Canadian and British cases and research. The book begins with a discussion of the evidence supporting the view that there is a significant social problem of abused men. It then provides a chapter on men's experiences as victims of domestic violence; and offers advice on how men can get help in abusive situations. The author then discusses the challenges to understanding the issue of men as victims of domestic violence, and explores approaches to reducing domestic violence.
