Notes:	This article discusses some of the key issues that arise when implementing the REVAMP programme, an anger management scheme mandated to male offenders as a condition for obtaining their correctional orders. The programme, funded by the Victorian Department of Justice, is designed to change the behaviour of perpetrators of diverse violent offences, including family violence. However, a generalist intervention fails to tackle the particular motivations that generate domestic violence actions. Similarly, since reluctance to participate is not unusual, the expected outcomes are not necessarily achieved. The prison culture also discourages some of the programme’s guidelines such as monitoring each other’s behaviours. Finally, low attendances destabilise the organisational structure.
