| dc.description.notes | General Overview: This article reviews the research into batterer intervention programs (BIPs) and finds that most programs have very little effect on the long term behaviour of offenders.<br/ ><br/ >There are no interventions for batterer violence that have been subjected to proper randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and are therefore empirically supported. Some of the studies have approximated RCTs or at least have had strong quasi-experimental controls and the authors claim that these are worth looking at. Some of the factors that influence the success of psychotherapy research are the alliance between the therapist and client, compliance with homework, client readiness to change which mirror the factors that predict success in other forms of psychosocial treatment programs. The authors offer some explanation as to why research in BIPs is behind that of other areas of psycho social treatment. Some of the important factors considered as causes for this disparity are that: there has been a rift between practitioners and researchers which must be mended if BIPs are to be properly evaluated and funded; there are problems designing such research because BIPs have a combination of punitive, educational and therapeutic functions, and also a lack of the substantial funding that is required to carry out this type pf research.<br/ ><br/ >Conclusion: The design of BIPs has been guided by theoretical and ideological concerns rather than empirical evidence. The way forward is to use a multidisciplinary approach and to research the different ways such programs can be really effective. | en |
