Notes:	Provides an overview and critique of two predominant models of batterer intervention – the unstructured group therapy model and the Duluth power and control model – identifying some of their major strengths and weaknesses. The historical development and key elements of each of the models are explored and some of the major differences between the models’ respective practices, programme structures, assumptions and theoretical underpinnings highlighted. These differences are then analysed in terms of their philosophical and ideological links to social institutions involved in the regulation of social deviance; in particular, the criminal justice system and the mental health system. Argues that an alternative model to the current ‘madness versus badness’ dichotomy is needed if more coordinated and effective community responses to interpersonal violence are to be developed.
