Men Stopping Violence - Men's Education

Reliable data including police reports, witness statements and emergency room reports indicate that men are the aggressors in over 90 percent of incidents of interpersonal violence. Many cases go unreported, and in Men Stopping Violence's (MSV) view, many more behaviors that men use should be incorporated into the category of abusive behavior.

You don't have to hit someone to abuse that person.

In fact, many men who come to MSV have never physically struck another person in a relationship. They have, however, used a wide range of controlling and abusive behaviors over a sustained period of time establishing a pattern.

For a more complete spectrum of abusive behaviors read the Violent and Controlling Behavior List at the bottom of the page. You may find behaviors on this list that you use that you never thought were abusive.

MSV offers a 24- week class that offers men alternatives to abusive and controlling behavior in their relationships. For more information, please see MSV's 24-Week Educational Course. Tactics and Choices is a class offered in conjunction with the DeKalb County Magistrate Court for men who have been arrested for domestic violence offenses in DeKalb County.
