“…The use of mixed gender co-facilitation in BIPs has been advocated based on the notion that it provides an opportunity for men in the group to interact with a woman in a healthy manner and provides a model of healthy malefemale relationships (Adams and Cayouette 2002;La Violette 2001;ODOJ 2009). In a national sample of programs, mixed gender co-facilitation was often used, with one-third of BIPs reporting that the majority of their groups are staffed in this way (Price and Rosenbaum 2009).…”

The requirement that both a male and female facilitator lead groups is supported by the psychological literature on modeling; providing effective models may be one element that contributes to behavior change (Bandura 1974;Gist et al 1989;Sarason and Ganzer 1973).…”

Changes in social policy are often pursued with the goal of reducing a social problem by improving prevention efforts, intervention program practices, or participant outcomes. State legislative standards for intimate partner violence intervention programs have been adopted nearly universally across the US, however, we do not know whether such standards actually achieve the intended goal of affecting programs' policies and practices. To assess the effect that batterer intervention program (BIP) standards have on policies and practices of programs, this study used longitudinal surveys collected as part of an ongoing evaluation conducted from 2001 to the present to compare intervention program (N = 74) characteristics and practices at three time points before and after the adoption of standards in Oregon. Analyses were conducted to examine all BIPs in Oregon at each time point, as well as change among a subset of programs in existence at all survey assessments. Results indicate that across all programs, the use of mixed gender group co-facilitation increased by 14% between 2004 and 2008, while program length increased by approximately 12 weeks. However, other practices such as programs' coordination with community partners were unchanged. Analyses of within-program change revealed fewer differences, with only program length increasing significantly over the three assessments. These and other findings indicate that while standards affected program length as intended, other practices commonly addressed by legislative standards remained unchanged. The findings provide needed information regarding programs' compliance with components of the standards, the potential need for compliance monitoring, and the potential impact of state standards on program effectiveness and on the prevalence of intimate partner violence.

“…Some states have mandatory or recommended arrest laws, and victims have the ability to obtain civil or criminal protection orders against their perpetrators (Fusco & Fantuzzo, 2009;Iyengar, 2009;Ko, 2002). Courts began mandating IPV perpetrators to intervention programs for such offenses in the 1980s (LaViolette, 2001). Since that time, research has focused on the effectiveness of these treatment programs with a focus on determining which approach is the most appropriate for the IPV population (Babcock, Green, & Robie, 2004).…”
