Men and Victimization

This course can be taken individually or as part of the Victimology Certificate. If you’re interested in pursuing the Victimology Certificate, inquire with our coordinator.

Men who experience victimization often encounter barriers to seeking help. Students explore masculinities theory, stigma, help-seeking behaviours, and male-centred treatment approaches. Special attention is paid to men’s experiences of sexual violence, partner violence, institutional violence, and war-related trauma. Through case studies, in-class activities, and research, students will consider how society can better prevent and respond to male victimization.
