From Boys to Men Phase Three Key Findings

The From Boys to Men Project was funded by the Economic and Social Research<br/>Council to explore why some boys become domestic abuse perpetrators when<br/>others do not. In so doing, it sought to establish what more could be done to<br/>reduce the number of young men who become perpetrators. The study<br/>involved three phases of data collection including: Phase 1 - a survey of school<br/>children aged 13-14, Phase 2 - focus groups with 69 young people aged 13-19,<br/>and Phase 3 - life history interviews with 30 young men, aged 16-21, who<br/>had experienced domestic violence as victims, perpetrators or witnesses.
