Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The problem of domestic violence that society has overlooked is domestic violence against men, but none spoke about it. It was covered up with the words that "men must not express weakness and cry to anyone". In this study, the author will present the concept, theories, and research on domestic violence against men, causes of the problem with domestic violence, factors influencing domestic violence, characteristics of domestic violent behavior, case studies of violence, effects of domestic violence, guidelines preventing and solving problems in aspects that Thai society has overlooked and not given enough importance even if it's only a small part. Men inflict more injuries in domestic violence, but society should not underestimate the injuries men inflict on women. Violence committed by women may seem minor, but it can also have serious consequences for men.
