Against a backdrop of increasing rates of family violence in Aotearoa New Zealand, opportunities exist to reflect upon, and critically evaluate, our conventional understanding and responses to family violence. In doing so, there is considerable potential to further develop and progress more efficacious orientations and approaches. The current study sought to explore alternative approaches from the perspectives of 35 men who have engaged in family violence; understanding the type of supports and interventions that have aided their desistance. Participants traced their desistance to family violence to communities of support, communities that have raised awareness of family violence while simultaneously engaging men who either use violence or were at risk of using violence, and the development of holistic, therapeutic, and supportive communities. Themes from these men's narratives highlight the benefits of a move away from a criminogenic response to a community‐embedded recovery orientation.

对家庭暴力的不同思考：从刑事司法对策过渡到康复方向

在新西兰奥特罗阿（Aotearoa）的家庭暴力发生率上升的背景下，有机会反思和批判性地评估我们对家庭暴力的传统理解和对策。这样，就有很大的潜力进一步发展和发展更有效的方向和方法。当前的研究试图从35名从事家庭暴力的男子的角度探索替代方法；了解帮助他们停止的支持和干预的类型。参与者将其对家庭暴力的抵制追溯到支持社区，提高了对家庭暴力意识的社区，同时让使用暴力或有使用暴力风险的男性参与进来，以及整体，治疗和支持性社区的发展。
