The debate about men's violence control programs is important, as is the recognition that there are different kinds of programs. I have done research on one men's program which changed significantly over a ten-year period from a confrontational, feminist approach to a psychological health model, partly in response to pressures of acquiring funding. I have written an article comparing this program with two other approaches, one based on conservative Christianity and one on indigenous problem solving practices. For those who are interested, it is called "Rights, Religion, and Community: Approaches to Violence Against Women in the Context of Globalization." It was published in 2001 in the Law and Society Review 35: 39-88. This journal is available through Lexus/Nexis.
