But what is being done to tackle the violent men at the root of the problem? More and more abusers are getting access to courses and therapies designed to help them change their violent behaviour. At stake is the safety of children and partners. But at a time when women’s refuges are closing due to lack of funding this is a highly controversial approach, which some even say is dangerous. With extraordinary access to some of these courses, Panorama asks how effective these interventions are and if violent men can ever really change. ## Gallery ![gallery image 1](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/covers/violent-men-header-400x250.jpg) ## Videos ![Can Violent Men Change](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/posters/unscripted/can-violent-men-change-panorama.jpg) Release Date: 18 Oct 2018 on BBC One Length: 30' Crew: **Directed & Produced by** Katie Hindley **Executive Producers** Jonathan Taylor, James Rogan, Roger Graef **Panorama Editor** Rachel Jupp **Commissioning Editor** Diana Martin Awards: NOMINATED - Independent Journalism - Royal Television Society Awards Where to watch: Coming soon to the Rogan Documentaries YouTube Channel ## Similar films [![Britain's Ketamine Crisis](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/covers/hazel-bikes-recrop.jpg)](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/britains-ketamine-crisis) [Britain's Ketamine Crisis](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/britains-ketamine-crisis) [Read more](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/britains-ketamine-crisis) [![Trump and Starmer: A Special Relationship?](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/covers/trump-cover.jpg)](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/trump-starmer-special-relationshi) [Trump and Starmer: A Special Relationship?](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/trump-starmer-special-relationshi) [Read more](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/trump-starmer-special-relationshi) [![Why Are Vet Bills So High?](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/covers/Why%20are%20Vet%20Bills%20So%20High.jpg)](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/why-are-vet-bills-so-high) [Why Are Vet Bills So High?](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/why-are-vet-bills-so-high) [Read more](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/why-are-vet-bills-so-high) [![What if Putin Goes Nuclear?](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/covers/jon-snow.jpg)](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/what-if-putin-goes-nuclear) [What if Putin Goes Nuclear?](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/what-if-putin-goes-nuclear) [Read more](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/what-if-putin-goes-nuclear) [![Boris Johnson: Has He Run Out Of Road?](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/gallery/Boris%20Johnson/Boris%20Johnson%20HHROOR-boris-johnson3.jpg)](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/boris-johnson-has-he-run-out-of-road) [Boris Johnson: Has He Run Out Of Road?](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/boris-johnson-has-he-run-out-of-road) [Read more](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/films/boris-johnson-has-he-run-out-of-road) ###### SEARCH ###### FOLLOW [![x](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/socials/x.svg)](https://x.com/RoganProduction) [![facebook](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/socials/facebook.svg)](https://www.facebook.com/RoganProductions/) [![instagram](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/socials/instagram.svg)](https://www.instagram.com/roganproduction) [![vimeo](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/socials/vimeo.svg)](https://vimeo.com/roganproductions) [![in](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/socials/in.svg)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rogan-productions) [![youtube](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/socials/youtube.svg)](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClOwgTv7NpU1wJh9gmIyv5w) [![tiktok](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/hubfs/assets-2026/socials/tiktok.svg)](https://www.tiktok.com/@roganproductions) ###### SUBSCRIBE ### New films, screenings and stories straight to your inbox. © 2026 Rogan Productions Limited | [Privacy Policy](https://www.roganproductions.co.uk/privacy) | Company Registration No. 08385838
