A test of the efficacy of court-mandated counseling for domestic violence offenders: The broward experiment

Group Interventions for Men Who Batter: A Summary of Program Descriptions and Research

“…Younger men and those without a "stake in conformity" were more likely to be rearrested. Feder and Forde (2000) compared men assigned randomly to 6 months of treatment and 1 year of probation with men on 1 year of probation only. No significant differences were found between these conditions in the average frequency of violence reported by offenders or victims.…”

Predictive Validity of the Dynamic Risk Assessment for Offender Re-Entry Among Intimate Partner Violence Offenders

“…For instance, dynamic risk factors predict violence and serious misconducts-such as escape, smuggling, and inappropriate sexual behaviour-among incarcerated and hospitalized offenders (Hogan & Olver, 2016;Van Voorhis et al, 2010;Wilson, Desmarais, Nicholls, Hart, & Brink, 2013;Yang, Wong, & Coid, 2010). Dynamic risk factors also predict rearrest, reimprisonment, and/or hospital readmission for IPV, violent, nonviolent, and sex offences among community-supervised offenders (Brem, Florimbio, Elmquist, Shorey, & Stuart, 2018;Brown, et al, 2009;Feder & Dugan, 2002;Greiner, Law, & Brown, 2015;Hanby, 2013;Hilton & Harris, 2005;McCoy & Miller, 2013;Olver, Wong, Nicholaichuk, & Gordon, 2007;Penney, Marshall, & Simpson, 2016;Van Voorhis et al, 2010).…”

“…Further, recent research provides a detailed exploration of relationship problems reported by male IPV offenders and found that problem Unemployment has also been linked to IPV recidivism. For example, four of the 16 studies in Bennett Cattaneo and Goodman's (2005) review that assessed this variable found that male offenders who were unemployed or employed only part-time had higher rates of IPV reoffending (Babcock & Steiner, 1999;Chaudhuri & Daly, 1992;Feder & Dugan, 2002;Taylor, Davis, & Maxwell, 2001). Male unemployment was also predictive of repeat male-to-female IPV in a five-year longitudinal study on a U.S. sample of adult couples (Caetano, McGrath, Ramisetty-Mikler, & Field, 2005).…”

The Effects of a Short-Term Batterer Treatment Program for Detained Arrestees: A Randomized Experiment in the Sacramento County, California Jail

“…At one-year follow-up, 48 men in the BIP condition had slightly lower incidence of recidivism by partner report than 50 men in the control group (but the difference was not statistically significant), and there were no differences in one-year re-arrest rates across the groups. Feder and Forde (2000) studied 404 men in Broward County, Florida randomly assigned to probation plus a Duluth-based BIP or probation only. At follow-up, there were no significant differences between the BIP and the probation-only group in self-reported domestic violence offending.…”
