“…Cannon et al (2016) found this model to be the primary treatment approach for 29.1% of programs, and the secondary approach for another 25%. In a European study of 54 BIPs in 19 countries, the majority (70%) indicated that they used cognitive-behavioral principles (Hamilton, Koehler, & Lösel, 2012). These interventions place emphasis on determining the function of violent behavior and typically occur in a group format (Adams, 1988).…”

Domestic Violence Perpetrator Programs: A Proposal for Evidence-Based Standards in the United States

In the United States, the judicial system response to violence between intimate partners, or intimate partner violence (IPV), typically mandates that adjudicated perpetrators complete a batterer intervention program (BIP). The social science data has found that these programs, on the whole, are only minimally effective in reducing rates of IPV. The authors examined the social science literature on the characteristics and efficacy of BIPs. More than 400 studies were considered, including a sweeping, recently conducted survey of BIP directors across the United States and Canada. Results of this review indicate that the limitations of BIPs are due, in large part, to the limitations of current state standards regulating these programs and, furthermore, that these standards are not grounded in the body of empirical research evidence or best practices. The authors, all of whom have considerable expertise in the area of domestic violence perpetrator treatment, conducted an exhaustive investigation of the following key intervention areas: overall effectiveness of BIPs; length of treatment/length of group sessions; number of group participants and number of facilitators; group format and curriculum; assessment protocol and instruments; victim contact; modality of treatment; differential treatment; working with female perpetrators; working with perpetrators in racial and ethnic minority groups; working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) perpetrators; perpetrator treatment and practitioner–client relationships; and required practitioner education and training. Recommendations for evidence-based national BIP standards were made based on findings from this review.

“…Moreover, the researchers identifi ed some programmes in Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia, but did not receive answers from their managers/facilitators. In four countries (Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary and Romania) authorities reported a lack of perpetrators programmes (Hamilton et al 2013(Hamilton et al : 1193. Three years later, the information about Eastern European and Baltic (male) perpetrator programmes was complemented by the results of the already mentioned IMPACT project.…”

“…Therefore, regarding the issue analysed here, they have a specific gender regime (Lewis, Ostner 1994). 4 In addition to profeminist approaches, psychodynamic and cognitive -behavioural treatments are the most popular approaches used in practical work with perpetrators in Europe (see Hamilton, Koehler, Lösel 2013: 1193. 5 Out of the Eastern European and Baltic countries presented in this paper, only countries belonging to the European Union, such as Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, were taken into consideration.…”

“…To date, the overall situation of European and some national programmes for perpetrators has been analysed in a number of scientific papers and reports (see Scourfield 1995;Scourfield, Dobash 1999;Dobash, Dobash, Cavanagh, Lewis 1999;Dobash, Dobash, Cavanagh, Lewis 2000;Rothman, Buthart, Cerda 2003;Debbonaire 2004;Akoensi, Koehler, Löser, Hamphreys 2013;Hamilton, Koehler, Lösel 2013;Geldschläger, Gines, Nax, Ponce 2014;Hester, Lilley, O'Prey, Budde 2014).

Abstract:The aim of the paper is to present and analyse the current state of perpetrator programmes in Eastern European and Baltic countries as this issue has barely been raised in the literature. It is connected to the fact that in described region such programmes are still relatively new phenomena and, compared to other European Union countries (mostly in Western and Northern Europe), the number of the programmes is still insufficient. Moreover, the number and character of the perpetrator programmes in Eastern European and Baltic countries is to a large extent determined by traditional gender relations, glorification of the traditional family and specific definitions of masculinities and femininities, as well as by the nature of the anti -violence legislation that exists in particular countries. The presented findings result from research on the specificity of work with perpetrators of domestic violence in the region. The analysis is based on the cases of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania and Poland. It is to a large extent the result of research conducted within the Daphne III project IMPACT: Evaluation of European Perpetrator Programmes (2013Programmes ( -2014 and of analysis of national reports delivered by country experts for a project conducted by the Work with Perpetrators -European Network in 2013.

“…Graham-Kevan (2007) discusses the lack of cohesive policy within the European Union at the time the paper was published and comments that, like with the US, the curriculum of perpetrator programs could be shaped by politics and not by evidence and science. Hamilton, Koehler and Lösel (2012) reviewed perpetrator programs that existed in practice in Europe. Their results revealed data from 19 of 23 countriesfour countries did not deliver programs.…”

The aim of the current study was to conduct a review of current intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrator provision within the UK. The objective of the review was to explore the characteristics of intervention programs currently within the UK. Using a questionnaire based design we explored characteristics of current programs including program structure, program logistics, facilitator characteristics and facilitator insights around the programs. A number of organisations completed the questionnaire (N = 21) and a review of existing literature was performed to explore the general characteristics of programs being delivered within the UK. Within the sample we found the feminist approach was still influential but that facilitators also reported a need to ensure programs are more inclusive in their service provision to represent the diversity of perpetrators found. An unexpected finding from this study was the resistance of many organisations to engage with the research through an apparent suspicion of the agenda and motivation of the research team. program therefore focused on re-educating partner violent men. Re-education (rather than treatment) was deemed appropriate as men's violence to their intimate partners was understood as not "stemming from individual pathology, but rather from a socially reinforced sense of entitlement." (Paymar & Barnes, ND). Using the "Power and Control Wheel" was central as partner violence was understood as being motivated men's need for power and control over women. Women's aggression was understood as self defensive.The authors of the model omitted to acknowledge the problems that are associated with generalising from such a small and unrepresentative sample (Dutton & Corvo, 2006). Ellen Pence did however write prior to her death "By determining that the need or desire for power was the motivatin...
