Behind the Doors of Domestic ViolenceBehind the Doors of Domestic Violence

The Mindset of a Perpetrator

View descriptionShare

With over twenty years’ experience in the domestic violence sector, Brian Sullivan provides an insight into the mindset of an offender and violence used to dominate and control victim survivors within relationships.

Leaning on his work with perpetrators as a facilitator of men’s programs and his PhD research exploring the effectiveness of court-mandated programs for male DV offenders, this episode will help listeners identify the warning signs and encourage reflection of people's own behaviour to promote change, as well as act as a reminder that while our general focus is rightly on victims, to ultimately reduce domestic violence, we also need to focus on perpetrators.
