| dc.description.notes | Self-report inventories on domestic violence, such as the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS), have been the basis of court and clinical decision making. Most studies investigating the reliability of violence self-reports have used the general population, whereas those using clinical populations are very rare. This US study attempts to extend the research on reliability of self-reports of violence in clinical samples through analyses of a multisite database of court-mandated batterers and their female partners (N=840). The authors firstly assess concurrent validity of self-reports by comparing men’s, women’s and police reports of male to female violence; secondly, by examining the agreement of men’s and women’s self-reports of the men’s violence at intake and at 12-month follow-up; and thirdly, by summarising a qualitative review of men’s and women’s descriptions of assaultive episodes. The study’s two hypothesis underpin previous research and test: whether women’s reports of male violence will be more accurate and have greater validity than the men’s reports; and whether batterer-partner agreement will be lower at intake than at follow-up because of program intervention and a decrease in the rate of male under reporting (refer to p. 187 for good explanation of this term). The findings do not support either hypothesis, which leads to a number of implications for both, the program procedures and evaluation research, which are well explored in the Discussion section of this article (p.192). | en |
