    Suffering in silence: the male victims of domestic abuse

    Suffering in silence: the male victims of domestic abuse

    The recent defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard highlighted to the world how men can fall victim to domestic abuse.
    Even so, male victims still struggle with the stigma, still struggle to see themselves as a victim and still struggle to get appropriate help.
    In this episode we look at the challenges facing male victims and try and understand why society still doesn't easily accept that women can be perpetrators of violence. We also explore why the UK government are only able to help male victims within it's 'violence against women and girls' strategy.
    We also hear from Richard; a victim of domestic abuse to hear first hand what he experienced and how he struggled to get the help he needed.

    Falsely Accused - Part II

    Falsely Accused - Part II

    There's a knock at the door. It's the Police. Someone has accused you of rape. What do you do?

    It's a nightmare situation faced by an unknown number of men. As #MeToo and #BelieveWomen have spread across the globe, what happens when an accusation is false? What are the repercussions of someone facing that allegation?

    Across two episodes we're looking at the effect of being falsely accused.

    Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have recently given us a front row seat to how complex a trial can be when crimes happen behind closed doors. When it's a case of 'he said / she said' who should you believe?

    Over the next two episode we'll hear from Liam who spent two years being investigated for 12 counts of rape and sexual assault along with legal experts who tell us what the risks and consequences of prosecutors being guided by societies demands.

    Experts featured in this episode include:

    Dr Ros Burnett is a Research Associate, formerly Reader in Criminology, at the Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford.

    Dr Dennis Eady is a lecturer at Cardiff University and leads their innocence project which encourages law students to investigate and examine potential cases of wrongful conviction or miscarriages of justice.

    Matthew Scott is a barrister who specialises in criminal law, including appeals, wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice.

    Never before have we been so bombarded with images of the ideal man. Our social media feed is full of #gains, buff boys compete for female attention on reality TV shows and chiseled chins promote the latest 20 bladed razors.

    But what happens when we don’t have the ideal body, face or hair? How when we’re bombarded with images and ads telling us we’re not good enough can we have some level of self esteem?

    In this Episode of The Problem With Men we’re looking at body image and body dysmorphic disorder.

    This episode does discus themes such as eating disorders and suicide. Information and resources are available on our website: http://theproblemwithmen.co.uk
