Abstract

Violence between intimate partners is a global problem that has reached epidemic proportions. On the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, domestic violence incidences are frequent. There is an abundance of data on violence between intimate partners. While there is an undeniable need to attend to the victims of abuse to resolve this type of conflict, there is an urgent need to redirect research attention to explore the perpetrators of the abuse. This chapter aims to examine existing literature and research conducted in Trinidad on the perspectives of Trinidadian men about why men perpetrate domestic violence against women. A review of the literature and findings from the study will, hopefully, provide new information on the causal factors of IPV from the male gender. It is hoped that this will assist in informing the design of prevention intervention initiatives on the islands.
