DeKeseredy announced Male Peer Support (MPS) Theory, which popularized the notion that certain all-male peer groups encourage, justify, and support the abuse of women. In 1993, DeKeseredy and Martin D. Schwartz modified and expanded MPS Theory. Today, after twenty-five years of research, numerous studies from a diverse range of fields and practitioners support the original claim, providing a powerful explanation for the mechanism that underlies much of North America's violence against women. This book provides a history of the theory, traces its development and uses over a quarter century, and offers an update on Internet-generated abuse." -- Publisher website. 650 0 $a Abused women. 650 0 $a Violence in men. 650 0 $a Peer pressure. 650 0 $a Intimate partner violence. 650 0 $a Women $x Violence against. 700 1 $a Schwartz, Martin D. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211024154.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826083054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48F9DBF26B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
