Can Violent Men Actually Be Reformed? Uncut with Dr Brian Sullivan
Manage episode 485657965 series 2535776
TV shows like Adolescence, conversations about the ‘Lost Boys Report’ and Red Pill Men have contributed to society trying to understand what makes boys and men becoming violent perpetrators so that we can end men’s violence. Domestic and male violence is something that we have spoken to many experts about on this podcast over the past 6 years. We’ve learnt that the most dangerous time for a woman fleeing violence is when she actually leaves. We’ve spoken to victim survivors and family members of victims of abuse and learnt about the early warning signs of violent perpetrators. But, today’s conversation addresses the belief systems that violent men have and the programs and systems in place to keep women and children safe and whether they actually work.
Joining the podcast today is Dr Brian Sullivan. Dr Brian is an academic and the founder of Sicura Domestic Violence Training and Support. He has been working with men who use violence in men’s behaviour change programs for almost 25 years. Brian has joined the 3rd season of the podcast ‘There’s no place like home’ to address the changes that are needed in our conversations about violence and ask the right questions - why does he do it? And how do we help the next person leave safely?
We speak about:
- How perpetrators use ‘justifications’ to control their image management
- The underlying belief systems of male privilege, entitlement and control
- Can violent men be truly rehabilitated?
- The systemic barriers that need to be addressed to actually reduce violence
- The measures we can take right now to stop children going down dangerous paths and following dangerous influencers
- There are more reports about former partners than current ones
- The problem with how ‘breaches’ are currently handled
- How perpetrators use children as a weapon
