Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur mäns våldsutövning i nära relationer beskrivs i tidigare forskning. Detta gjordes genom en litteraturstudie beståendes av elva artiklar. Empirin analyserades genom en tematisk analys. Innehållsanalysen pekade ut flera återkommande kategorier vilket resulterade i fyra huvudteman och flera underteman. Första temat vilka män representeras i forskningen följdes åt av underteman ålder, etnicitet, och socioekonomisk bakgrund. Andra temat våldsutövande mäns förklaringar till våld med underteman kontroll och makt och kontrollförlust. Tredje temat könsnormer med underteman mannens överordning och rättigheter och kvinnans underordning och skyldigheter. Fjärde temat våldsformer med underteman vilka våldsformer beskrivs i forskningen och vilka våldsformer beskrivs inte i forskningen. Studieresultatet pekar ut flera viktiga aspekter i forskningen kring mäns våldsutövande. Däribland att mätinstrumenten för att undersöka våld i nära relationer är begränsade och ger en alltför snäv bild av de former våld kan ta. Utöver detta lyfter studien sexism, tidigare trauman, PTSD, aggressionsproblematik makt- och kontrollbehov som riskfaktorer till att utveckla ett våldsamt beteende. Sammantaget bidrar gällande studie till att ge en fördjupad förståelse för de faktorer som bidrar till att män utvecklar ett våldsamt beteende i nära relationer, hur våldet definieras och hur männen representeras i tidigare forskning. / The aim of the current study is to examine how men's intimate partner violence is described in previous research. This was achieved by performing a scoping review containing eleven articles. The empirical data was analyzed through a thematic analysis. Analyzing the content determined several reoccurring categories resulting in four main themes with further sub-themes. The first theme which men are represented in previous research followed by the sub-themes age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic background. The second theme violent men's reasoning for violence with sub-themes control and power and loss of control. The third theme gender norms with sub-themes men's rights and superiority and women's duties and subordination. The fourth theme forms of violence with sub-themes which forms of violences are included in previous research and which forms of violence are not included in previous research. Several important aspects discerning men's violence were attained in the result of the study. The methods used for measuring intimate partner violence were limited and provided only a narrow view of the expressions of violent acts. Furthermore, risk factors such as male chauvinism, previous trauma, PTSD, anger issues and the need for power and control are linked with the possibility of developing a violent behavior. Finally, the current study provides an extended understanding of which factors may lead to the development of men's intimate partner violence, the definitions of domestic violence and the representation of these men in previous research.

Violence – especially violence against children – is one of the biggest problems in the world and in Lithuania as well. The consequences of violence are very painfull, it’s physical, moral and material damage is tremendous. In spite of that our society is still unable properly to solve this problem. The worrying fact is that quite a big number of children undergo violence not only at home or in the street, but also at school. The responsible authorities should pay more attention to this fact and should make every effort to prevent that. In order to organize prevention first of all we need objective, reliable and full information about the fact of violence and it’s spreading in school. The purpose of this paper is: a) to analize the atitude towards violence in school by schoolchidren themselves (what boys and girls think about that); b) to clear up the scale of violence among the teenagers of different sexes; c) to disclose the attitude of the schollchildren of different sexes towards the prevention of violence. In order to find out the attitude of the most interested group the main method of research was chosen as questionnaire. During the research the hypothesis was corroborated : the teenagers of juniour age at school undergo violence, their safety and the kind of violence depend on sex.
