This book uses various theoretical perspectives to summarize what is known about the multiple causes of men's violence against women, and stresses the importance of identifying men's risk factors. The preliminary multivariate model identifies four content areas: macrosocietal; biological; gender role socialization; and relational factors to explain men's violence against women. Within these four content areas the editors develop thirteen preliminary hypotheses about the causes of men's violence against women, which are critiqued by the contributors in the subsequent chapters.

Preliminary Multivariate Model Explaining the Causes of Men's Violence against Women
In the first chapter, we indicated that the previous literature has not fully addressed the question, “What causes men to be violent against women?” Very few multivariate models have captured the complexity of men's risks for violence against women. There is a great need for more conceptual models and theories that explain the multiplicity of factors that cause men's violence against women. The purpose of this chapter is to present a shortened version of our preliminary conceptual model that explains the multiplicity of factors that contribute to men's violence against women. A more extensive explanation of this model, with greater detail and documentation, ...
