“…Due to the major consequences of domestic violence on individuals, families, and communities, intervention practices that assist in the reduction of violent behaviour are of significant value. In attempting to reduce the impact and prevalence of domestic violence, the need to engage with both those affected by and those who use violence has become increasingly recognised (Campbell, Neil, Jaffe, & Kelly, 2010;Day, O'Leary, Chung, & Justo, 2009). …”

Literature widely reports the negative impacts of domestic violence at individual, family, and societal levels. Intervention programs that effectively assist violent men to develop alternate ways of relating, and thus enhance the safety of women and children, are of significant value to governments and the community. This study evaluates the effectiveness of one such program in promoting change in relevant attitudes and psychological constructs. Program participants completed pre-and post-group surveys containing validated scales that measured their gender equity beliefs, self-esteem, mastery, and psychological distress. Over the duration of program attendance, positive changes were evident regarding men's self-esteem, mastery, and psychological distress, however, no significant change in gender equity beliefs was apparent. The positive changes evident amongst participants indicate beneficial outcomes from group work participati on in areas that have been identified as risk factors for violent behaviour. The results also suggest that intervention programs would benefit from an increased focus on gender equity beliefs, and that further research is necessary on the extent to which this focus could improve attitudes, and consequently promote safety for women and children.

Research Question Can integrated case management by a multi-agency partnership of the relations between offenders and victims with repeated incidents of intimate partner violence (IPV) reduce the frequency or severity of harm from that violence? Data Three batches of 60 IPV dyads were enrolled in a trial, with data collected on services delivered to them and police records for 2 years before and 2 years after random assignment to treatment and control groups. Methods The study measured the delivery of all three elements of treatment offered: (1) victim support through Berkshire Women's Aid, (2) one-to-one perpetrator counselling through motivational interviewing techniques and (3) follow-up visits to the home addresses of perpetrators and victims. The outcomes for each couple in severity of harm were compared in a before-after, difference-of-differences analysis of Cambridge Crime Harm Index scores. After-only frequency of non-criminal domestic conflict events was also compared. Findings Delivery of programme elements was highly variable, but more intense in the treatment group than in control, especially in terms of police visits to offenders (T = 60%, C = zero). Mean difference between 24 months of post-random assignment and the 24 months baseline period for C cases was an increase of 4.15 Cambridge Crime Harm Index (CHI) prison days, while T cases had a mean change of 8.85 fewer CHI days in prison in post-assignment than in baseline. This difference was significant with outliers removed, but not with two control group baseline cases included. There was also a substantially higher rate of frequency of non-crime events in the 24 months after random assignment in T (112) than in C (85). Camb J Evid Based Polic (2017) Conclusions The overall effect of the programme appeared to have been beneficial, as measured by the Crime Harm Index. The evidence cannot specify how much of that benefit was caused by the more consistent police visits to offenders versus other elements of the programme for both victims and offenders.

“…De façon générale, les stratégies identifiées par les hommes rencontrés sont surtout centrées sur eux-mêmes et sur leurs expériences au sein du groupe, ce qui rejoint d'ailleurs l'état des connaissances qui identifient peu d'éléments extérieurs au groupe susceptibles de favoriser l'engagement (Campbell et al, 2010 ;Chovanec, 2014 ;Holdsworth et al, 2014 ;Zalmanowitz et al, 2013). Sur le plan personnel, les hommes ont identifié plusieurs stratégies qu'il est possible de qualifier d'introspectives (p. ex.…”

À l'importance de la création de ce lien s'ajoutent, au registre des stratégies susceptibles de favoriser l'engagement dans les groupes, l'attitude non directive de l'intervenant, le soutien, la confrontation et le renforcement des progrès réalisés (Holdsworth et al, 2014).…”

Service social, 61(1), 77-92. doi:10.7202/1033741ar Résumé de l'article RésuméAu Québec et ailleurs, les groupes pour les conjoints ayant des comportements violents constituent une des réponses sociales au problème de la violence conjugale. Or, les taux d'abandon dans ces groupes demeurent préoccupants en raison notamment des risques de récidive qui y sont associés. Les études suggèrent qu'un faible sentiment d'engagement compte parmi les facteurs associés aux abandons, alors que l'engagement dans les groupes serait considéré comme un élément favorisant le succès des programmes d'intervention. Cet article présente les résultats d'une recherche qualitative sur les stratégies qui peuvent favoriser l'engagement des hommes dans les programmes de groupe. Les résultats mettent en lumière l'importance du choix de s'engager dans le groupe, de même que le rôle des intervenants, des autres membres du groupe et de l'environnement dans ce processus.

ABSTRACTIn Quebec and elsewhere, group work programs for violent partners are widely used in order to address the social problem of intimate partner violence. Dropout rates in these groups however remain of concerns because of the associated risks of recidivism. Studies suggest that a low sense of engagement in these groups is a dropout factor, while group engagement is considered as an element contributing to programs success. This article presents the results of a qualitative research on the strategies that may foster men's engagement in their group program. Results highlight the importance of men's choice to commit themselves to the group, along with practitioners, gr...
