Notes:	Presents the methodology and findings of a study conducted in London, Ontario, Canada aimed at examining whether a transtheoretical model (TTM) of change amongst perpetrators could assist in predicting the effectiveness of batterer intervention programmes. A background to the growth in perpetrator programmes and research undertaken in this area is provided and it is suggested that men in the ‘action’ or ‘contemplation’ stages of change could benefit more from treatment than those in the TTM’s ‘pre-contemplation’ stage. Implications of these findings are highlighted, along with some of the limitations of the study, and it is contended that further research in this area is warranted.
