How He Wins
Abusive Intimate Partners Going Free By Don Hennessy
Explores domestic abuse and the way we must approach it. Don Hennessy examines our practices and procedures, our attitudes and our beliefs regarding domestic violence. He demonstrates how we have made few inroads in this area – either into the prevalence of male intimate abuse, or in relation to the tactics that support the ability of the male intimate abuser to establish and maintain his control. It is vital that all agencies, both statutory and non-governmental, recognise that we need to change our position from one of support to one of protection.
