The report proceeds to provide: an analysis of the contrasting pictures of domestic abuse evident in the statistical data derived from Scottish Police records for 1999 and 2000 and the findings of the Scottish Crime Survey 2000; an outline of the characteristics of male victims in relation to both male non-victims and female victims of domestic abuse; in-depth accounts of the abuse experienced by a sample of the men identified as victims of ‘domestic violence’ in the Scottish Crime Survey 2000; and a summary of the arguments for and against specialist service provision for abused men in Scotland.

Although a considerable body of research has reviewed the reasons for homelessness and people's experiences of homelessness, there has been a lesser focus on how people resolve homelessness and on ‘what works’ in promoting successful settlement. This study set out to explore the typical ‘routes’ or pathways followed to resolve homelessness and to resettle, drawing on the available evidence to make recommendations for policy and practice.
