Notes:	This report presents the evaluation results of a programme conducted by the Northern Territory Correctional Services and the Council for Aboriginal Alcohol Program Services in Darwin and Alice Springs for Indigenous family violence offenders. The effectiveness of the prison-referred and community-based programme was measured by the participant’s behaviour-change. Type, frequency and severity of injury when abuse remained or ending of violence were considered as indicators of change. Six months after the programme, 18 of the 26 men that completed it had significantly reduced or ceased their violent behaviour. Twelve months after the programme, 10 of the 26 men increased or returned to the level of violence held before the programme. Most of the men who reduced or ceased violence were in a community residential and family-supported setting, as opposed to the participants in a custodial setting.
