Type
Summary

Male victims of interpersonal violence are often unrecognized because of certain views that interpersonal violence includes a power structure in society that favors males. However, this ideology prevents society from effectively preventing violence by failing to address the realities of male victims. In order to broaden understanding in this field, researchers analyzed data collected from 190 male callers to the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men.
