Domestic violence is a serious social problem that is heart-breaking to each and every victim who experiences the abuse. However, it has hitherto been depicted in a misleading manner, by portraying men as always the perpetrators and women always the victims. This book is packed with factual evidence that shows that men are also victims of domestic violence perpetrated by their wives or female partners, and in high numbers. It thus dispels this old misleading stereotype and establishes that domestic violence is not a gender issue as heretofore portrayed, but a social issue and one capable of being perpetrated by either partner in an intimate relationship.

TRUTH AND PREJUDICE: Mens Experiences of Domestic Violence is based on a review of research findings from around the world covering Australia, Canada, China, South Africa, Uganda, United Kingdom and United States - confirming the reality of domestic violence against men by their wives or female partners. The book unveils the truth head-on, and lays bare the prejudice that male victims are subjected to by those responsible for responding to domestic violence victims.

Divided into four chapters - each examining a key issue of mens experiences - the subjects under discussion are: the prevalence and extent of this abuse against men; detrimental impact of this on them the disparity in support/service provision and biased response to male victims - concluding with an overview of the main arguments and recommendations for a way forward. The book is comprehensive in its examination of these issues and jargon-free, thus capable of appealing to all those (men or women) interested in the unbiased portrayal of domestic violence in our societies.
