“…By providing those who perpetrate IPV with an enhanced sense of power and control, IPV may be viewed as a way of compensating for feelings of powerlessness by expressing dominance over others. It is noteworthy that the TCU-CTS scale demonstrating the greatest declines over the course of IPV treatment is the Power Orientation scale (Mennicke et al, 2015; Yorke et al, 2010).…”

“…A review of the literature on criminal cognition and IPV identified three studies that have explored the relationship between criminal thinking and IPV. Two of these studies uncovered significant pre–post reductions on several Texas Christian University–Criminal Thinking Styles inventory (TCU-CTS, Knight et al, 2006) criminal thinking scales in men enrolled in treatment for IPV (Mennicke et al, 2015; Yorke et al, 2010). The Power Orientation scale, however, was the only TCU-CTS scale to achieve significant reductions in both studies.…”

Predicting Future Intimate Partner Violence with Past Intimate Partner Violence: The Moderating Role of Proactive and Reactive Criminal Thinking

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health concern with serious consequences for individuals, families, and society in general. In an effort to expand knowledge in this area, this study assessed whether proactive (planned, calculated, amoral) and reactive (impulsive, irresponsible, emotional) criminal thinking mediated or moderated the past IPV–future IPV relationship in 1,238 individuals released from federal prison. Evaluating the indirect effect of past IPV on future IPV via proactive and reactive criminal thinking failed to produce any significant mediated effects. There was evidence, however, of a moderating effect for proactive criminal thinking, such that prior IPV predicted subsequent IPV recidivism only when proactive criminal thinking was elevated. Reactive criminal thinking, by contrast, failed to moderate the past IPV–future IPV relationship. These findings suggest that proactive criminal thinking may serve as a risk factor for future IPV in individuals with a prior history of domestic violence.

“…In the United States, the first programs began emerging in the 1970s. Tertiary prevention efforts can also be implemented beyond current community batterer intervention programs by reaching out to inmates in jails and prisons who may not have formal arrest records for domestic violence, but may well struggle to experience healthy, nonviolent relationships (Yorke et al 2010).…”

“…In addition to the cessation of physical violence, there is hope for longer-term reform beyond short-term cessation or interruption of violent behavior. Common objectives among providers are that participants develop empathy and be motivated to accept personal responsibility for their abuse (Alexander et al 2010;Yorke et al 2010). To date there are no studies that reveal a superior method or intervention style to achieve all of these goals for all offenders (Babcock et al 2004).…”

Handbook of Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Across the Lifespan

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Interpersonal violence intervention is an issue of immediate and critical concern. Throughout this handbook various forms of interpersonal violence across the lifespan are discussed and evaluated, with current strategies and interventions. The field of intervention regarding various forms of abuse involving children and older adults, sexual assault, and domestic violence has already made significant advances. To date, increasing attention, both public and professional, has been given to these areas of victimization, in terms of assessment tools, and treatment approaches using evidence-based and trauma-informed strategies, but much more can be done to eliminate this epidemic of violence in our society. In addition to the immediate impact of physical harm, interpersonal violence results in longterm psychological damage to not only the individual victim but to families and society at large. Therefore, it is incumbent on those working in the field to conduct assessments of treatment programs and evaluate current research to create more effective treatment protocols along with evidence-based implementations. This chapter focuses on future interventions covering both victims and perpetrators, as well as systemic issues that are central to research, practice, policy, and advocacy. In order to be effective, interventions and research must be equipped to meet the formidable challenges posed by the complexity, persistence, and traumatic effects of interpersonal violence as a social, cultural, and intergenerational problem affecting diverse populations and communities.

“…The prevalence of domestic violence has been widely reported (Day et al ., , ; Feder and Wilson, ; World Health Organization, ), as have the negative consequences for victims and survivors (Blasco‐Ros et al ., ; Brosi and Rolling, ; Carrell and Hoekstra, ; Field and Caetano, ; McLeod et al ., ; Murray and Graybeal, ; York et al ., ). An emerging body of work has shown domestic violence to be associated with cases of filicide, particularly where the man who uses violence has a history of depression, or in situations of parental separation (Harris Johnson, ; MacKenzie and Woodlock, ).…”

Research in Australia has examined factors associated with filicide in order to more accurately instigate points of intervention. Factors include parental separation/divorce, depression in the perpetrator and domestic violence. Therefore, services that facilitate men's behaviour change programmes provide one such point of intervention. Relationships Australia NSW offers 'Taking Responsibility': an 18-week programme that addresses men's use of violence and abuse in their intimate relationships, through group work and individual support. Fundamental to this programme is the whole family's safety, which is managed through initial screening, ongoing contact and access to additional therapeutic services. Programme evaluation has revealed that men's change factors are influenced by varying levels of motivation, at intake and throughout. These accounts have indicated that the relationship status with their partner affects their motivation, which in turn has the potential to affect their investment in the programme. This relates to both increased and diminished motivation. Partners and former partners, however, expressed ambivalence towards their continuing relationships. Given the risk factors for filicide associated with domestic violence and separation, these interviews contribute to what is known about men's motivation to change violent and abusive behaviours, and in turn the clinical objectives for professionals working on these programmes. Copyright KEY PRACTITIONER MESSAGES:• The client's relationship status often changes throughout the course of a men's behaviour change programme.• A separation can negatively affect motivation and behaviour change processes. • Professionals working with men who use violence are advised to raise the topic the client's relationship status, to prevent attrition, and work with them to broaden their motivations.
