Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper discussing what to do with male abusers. Jails and prisons are full beyond capacity, to the point that “minor” offenders – often any who have not committed murder, rape or monumental theft – are released early to make room for others. Judges are loathe to add to the overcrowding pressures that already exist, and imprisonment may only have the effect of inflaming already violent men. It appears that it is most important to get these men into some kind of treatment program, regardless of length or approach. Bibliography lists 6 sources in 17 footnotes.

Sometimes it can seem that male abusers may be taken off to jail only momentarily, only to be released right away and more infuriated by the experience than they

have reason to hold such fears. Womens advocates have made headway over the years, however, in disseminating the information that it is left to women to call a halt
to any abuse that is being visited upon them. But how effective is the treatment available to men? This is question that
Davis and Taylor (2001) sought to answer in their recent review of literature on the subject. They reviewed existing literature with three questions: "(1) Does treatment reduce violence
