Notes:	Provides an overview of teen dating violence and juvenile batterer intervention programmes. The characteristics of the adolescent male perpetrator of dating violence are based on the group with contact with the criminal justice system. The profile includes experiences of child abuse, witnessing inter-parental violence, substance use, sexist attitudes and peer compliance. The intervention programmes are implemented as alternatives or complements to incarceration, and intend to rehabilitate and re-educate the young person. The authors describe the challenges faced by the programmes and some of the aspects that should be enhanced. The areas addressed are the response of the juvenile justice system and the cultural approach. The methodology of some of the current programmes and the importance of prevention are also discussed.
