abstract="This exploratory study examined partner abuse perpetration in the context of employment. Qualitative and quantitative data from 29 men convicted of partner abuse were gathered through focus groups and a brief survey. Men attributed absences, reduced productivity, and errors to their perpetration of abuse and described harassing their victims using employers' phones, vehicles, e-mails and by enlisting coworkers. Findings also suggest that zero-tolerance policies may be ineffective and that employers may benefit from partner abuse training. For example, participants reported that their employers offered them alcohol-abuse services instead of batterer intervention, despite the fact that substance abuse was not a factor in all of the cases. These findings need to be tested through a larger scale, empirical investigation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
