“…In 2019, Radatz and Hilton published an illustration on how to use the well-established tool, the Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment (ODARA; Hilton et al, 2004Hilton et al, , 2010 to assist DV treatment programs in their decisions regarding treatment intensity categories aligned with the PEI framework. Notably, the study findings from Hilton and Radatz's (2021) examination of criminogenic needs also indicated that the total number of criminogenic needs a DV offender had was significantly associated with the ODARA treatment intensity categories.…”

“…When compared to the two other groups of offenders, the DV offenders had a significantly higher number of criminogenic needs, and displayed the highest levels across all criminogenic domains except employment or school problems (Hilton & Radatz, 2018). In a subsequent study that examined the criminogenic needs of DV offenders and their relation to IPV recidivism, Hilton and Radatz (2021) determined that all five of the criminogenic needs (i.e., antisocial personality traits, procriminal attitudes, substance use, poor relationships, and work/school problems) in their study were present among the offenders, and all but one (i.e., poor relationships) were significantly associated with IPV recidivism.…”

Several evaluations and meta-analytic reviews have suggested that domestic violence (DV) treatment programs have only a modest impact on reducing DV recidivism. In response, a growing number of scholars and practitioners have called for the integration of evidence-based practices into DV treatment programming. In recent years, one leading approach has been to explore the infusion of the 'principles of effective intervention (PEI),' the prevailing evidence-based practice in correctional programming, into DV treatment. Findings from initial empirical studies from scholars and practitioners working to infuse the PEI into DV treatment programs have shown promise. This article provides an overview of the PEI and research exploring the integration of the PEI into DV treatment; a discussion on how these research findings can inform DV treatment programs interested in adopting a PEI framework; and practitioners' perspectives on implementing programmatic changes and collaborating on evaluation research while also continuing to provide DV treatment.

“…They discovered that individuals who had perpetrated IPV had higher criminogenic needs than the other groups. In a subsequent study, Hilton and Radatz (2021) found a connection between criminogenic needs (antisocial personality traits, procriminal attitudes, substance use, and work/school problems), treatment intensity categories (assigned using the ODARA), and recidivistic IPV. This finding adds support for using risk assessment to assign individuals to different interventions based on risk level, with the highest-risk perpetrators receiving the most intensive IPV treatment.…”

“…This finding adds support for using risk assessment to assign individuals to different interventions based on risk level, with the highest-risk perpetrators receiving the most intensive IPV treatment. Further, these findings indicate that assessing criminogenic needs and intervening to make improvements in these areas will improve outcomes in relation to IPV (Hilton & Radatz, 2021).…”

Extant research demonstrates diversity among intervention program for people who have perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) in terms of theoretical approach, length, and composition. The present study explores community-based IPV intervention programs delivered in Saskatchewan, Canada, a province with a substantial rural population and a high rate of IPV. Twenty-five professionals representing 11 programs provided details of available IPV interventions in an online survey. Findings provide insight into the characteristics of IPV intervention programs and the experiences of professionals who facilitate these programs, including their observations regarding successful interventions and barriers to completion faced by participants. These findings inform recommendations for policy, practice, and future research.

“…Correctional models following the PEIs have been associated with significant reductions in general recidivism with some studies showing decreases of 80–90% (e.g., Andrews, Bonta et al, 1990). Calls for the integration of the PEIs into IPV treatment programs are rooted in research finding that the majority of offenders who are referred to IPV treatment programs have a history of other types of criminal behavior (i.e., they are not “IPV specialists”; Piquero et al, 2006; 2014; Richards et al, 2013) and that IPV treatment program clients share many of the same criminogenic risks and needs as offenders who have historically been the target of PEI research in correctional settings (Hilton & Radatz, 2018, 2021; Stewart & Power, 2014).…”

Court-ordered treatment programs are a widely used response to intimate partner violence (IPV) and many states have developed standards to guide programs. The current study provides an update to Maiuro and Eberle’s. (2008) review of states’ standards and extends the literature by using the principles of effective intervention (PEIs; i.e., risk, need, responsivity, treatment, and fidelity) as an organizational framework to examine standards. Findings showed that 84% of states had standards in 2020, compared to 88% in 2007, and extensive changes both within and across states’ standards had occurred. Regarding the PEIs, in line with the risk principle most states mandated the use of risk assessments; inconsistent with the needs principle, few states used these assessments to classify clients into risk levels or inform individualized treatment. The majority of standards addressed the treatment principle by outlining a required structure and duration, but few attended to responsivity factors (e.g., identifying treatment modalities, attending to specific client factors). Regarding the fidelity principle, most standards outlined education or training requirements for staff and required periodic program reviews or audits, but few standards were evidenced-based and only about half required that programs collect data to measure effectiveness. Taken together, findings suggest that standards have continued to evolve and that the integration of PEIs into IPV treatment is only just beginning. Standards provide a rich opportunity for future researcher–practitioner partnerships in the field of IPV intervention.
