The new legislation, which places higher demands on municipalities to offer treatment to violent men, will not reach everyone who beats their partners. That is the assessment of Susanne Strand, associate professor of criminology at Örebro University. - The group that reports to the police, but is not convicted, and feels a motivation - that I can change - they will have the opportunity to change from this type of treatment, she says.
Although the treatment will not reach everyone, Susanne Strand believes that it is an important piece of the puzzle in trying to stop men's violence against women.
- Not offering support and treatment to those who want to change can mean that women remain in conditions where violence escalates, she says.
