RESEARCH

The Role of Batterers' Treatment in Recidivism by Domestic Violence Offenders by Elizabeth Green, MSW

This study examines the role of a batterers’ treatment program relative to other factors that influence the likelihood that a domestic violence offender will be arrested for further violence. It also addresses factors that best predicted attrition from the program. This study can be used to inform program efforts to increase retention by targeting interventions targeted to those at highest risk of dropping out and by improving cultural responsiveness.
