| Abstract: | This article explores how ‘success’ is measured in domestic violence perpetrator programmes (DVPPs), arguing for an expanded understanding beyond the cessation of physical violence. Using qualitative data from interviews with 73 stakeholders, including programme participants, their partners/ex-partners, programme staff, and funders, the study identifies six indicators of success: improved relationships, expanded space for action for women, safety and freedom from abuse, positive parenting, enhanced awareness in perpetrators, and safer childhoods. The findings suggest that social work should adopt a broader definition of success that includes empowerment, well-being, and systemic change. |
