“…At least 15 studies of attrition correlates have been published in peerreviewed journals since Daly's and Pelowski's work was disseminated (Buttell & Carney, 2002;Buttell & Pike, 2002;Carney & Buttell, 2004;Dalton, 2001;Dowd, Leisring, & Rosenbaum, 2005;Gerlock, 2001;Hudak, 2001;McCloskey, Sitaker, & Grigsby, 2003;Rondeau, Brodeur, & Brochu, 2001;Rooney & Hanson, 2002;Scott, 2004;Taft, Murphy, & Elliott, 2001a, 2001bTutty, Babins-Wagner, & Rothery, 2001;Tutty, Bidgood, & Rothery, 2006). In this group of studies, we found that court referral status, unemployment, criminal history, and age were correlated with attrition in at least half of the studies 1 in which they were examined.…”

This study sought to identify factors associated with attrition for 197 individuals who participated in a state-sponsored rural domestic violence treatment program. Bivariate analyses identified 10 factors associated with program attrition. Logistic regression identified three of these (employment status, psychiatric disorder type, and probation status) as significant predictors of attrition. This three-factor model predicted 78% of all outcomes and 43% and 92% of dropouts and completers, respectively.

“…Only a few studies have quantitatively examined treatment outcomes for women in perpetrator programs (Buttell, 2002;Carney & Buttell, 2004aTutty, Babins-Wagner, & Rothery, 2006Wray et al, 2013), and there have been no RCTs evaluating court-mandated treatments for female perpetrators of IPV. In a qualitative study, T. Walker (2013) interviewed seven women who had completed the Women and Violence Explored (WAVE) program in the United Kingdom.…”

“…A pretest-posttest design was used, and nonphysical abuse toward one's partner decreased after treatment as well as depression, stress, and self-esteem (Tutty et al, 2006). Although significant improvements were found, it should be noted that the scores remained in the clinical range after treatment.…”

“…Some BIPs for women have been found to reduce psychological problems such as stress and depressive symptoms in women (Tutty et al, 2009), psychological PA perpetrated by women Tutty et al, 2006Tutty et al, , 2009, and PA victimization in women (Tutty et al, 2009;Wray et al, 2013). However, there is currently no evidence that BIPs reduce physical partner aggression perpetrated by women.…”

“…Existing evidence does not provide evidence for any contraindication for mixed-gender groups. Only a few studies have quantitatively examined treatment outcomes for women in BIPs (Buttell, 2002;Carney & Buttell, 2004aTutty et al, 2006Tutty et al, , 2009Wray et al, 2013), and there have been no RCTs evaluating court-mandated treatments for female perpetrators of IPV. Across studies, there are some promising effects of BIPs for women in terms of psychological variables and reductions in nonphysical forms of abuse.…”

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

Armenti²,

et al. 2016

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.
