Notes:	Buzawa and Buzawa believe an understanding of risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV) is dependent on the nature of the abuse; the severity and frequency of abusive behavior; and the generality of violence and its psychopathology. In response to the question of how economic support would assist in the prevention of IPV, the authors suggest a variety of strategic approaches which would make most effective use of a limited budget. However, they feel that economic support would be only one of the determining factors in a victim’s decision to escape violence and would not be the most important one. Ultimately, they find economic factors to be a weak risk factor and their importance in controlling IPV to be hindered by the limited resources available to agencies and authorities. In discussing what has been learned from prior interventions, they examine the effectiveness of previously established interventions and their limitations. These include mandatory arrests, ‘no-drop’ prosecution policies and batterer intervention programs (BIPs).
