Notes:	This U.S. research, conducted in Dallas, Houston and Denver, examined the effect of well-established batterer programmes on participants’ behaviour. In all, 640 men, mainly court-mandated programme participants, took part in the study. Their initial or new partners were interviewed every three months over a 15-month follow-up period. Study findings revealed that a man who completes a programme is 44 to 64 per cent less likely to reassault his partner than those men who dropped out. Completion of a three-month programme proved to be as effective as a nine-month programme in terms of reassault.
