Religion and domestic violence: exploring men’s perpetration.

该项目将产生关于男子如何利用宗教信仰和习俗实施家庭暴力的新知识。该项目采用定性设计，将深入了解教会如何理解和应对家庭暴力;并确定和分析作为家庭暴力形式的精神虐待。重大的创新和好处是通过教会的透镜采访澳大利亚男子关于他们对暴力的理解和使用。这些成果将加强家庭暴力理论的知识基础，作为一个平台，在宗教环境内外制定更有效的政策和做法，以防止家庭暴力。

The project will generate new knowledge about how religious beliefs and practices are used by men to perpetrate domestic violence. Using a qualitative design this project will gain insights into how churches understand and respond to domestic violence; and identify and analyse the perpetration of spiritual abuse as a form of domestic violence. The significant innovation and benefit is interviewing Australian men about their understandings and use of violence through an ecclesiastical lens. The outcomes will enhance the knowledge base of domestic violence theory, serving as a platform to develop more effective policies and practice inside and outside religious settings to prevent domestic violence.
