Recent public debate has focused on a ‘crisis in masculinity’ in Australia evidenced by high suicide rates; criminal behaviour; aggression; homophobia; sexual assault;  and violence in sport. How can society help boys to realise their potential as men when there is a lack of male role models due to absent fathers and few male teachers? This book investigates ‘masculinity’ and how boys and men can define a positive male identity, particularly in the areas of education, peer group, attitudes to women and in relationships.
