'A new poster campaign targeting men’s attitudes and behaviours toward domestic violence, called Don’t Be That Guy, is aimed squarely at stopping the problem at its root cause, says Cape Breton Regional Police Chief Peter McIsaac.

“Domestic violence is something that we need to address on the front end, before it even starts,” McIsaac said Wednesday at a campaign launch sponsored by Men Against Domestic Violence.

“And it’s there that men, in particular, have a very big role to play. Traditionally, domestic violence and sexual violence, the conversation has all been about women. It’s been made a women’s issue.

“But research tells us it’s really a man’s issue. Over 90 per cent of perpetrators in domestic violence situations are men.”'
