"Batterer Intervention: Program Approaches and Criminal Justice Strategies" is a publication of the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) in Rockville, Maryland. The publication provides judges, prosecutors, and probation officers with the information they need to better understand batterer intervention and make appropriate decisions regarding programming.
Dialogues on the subject of domestic violence in society have been a key issue for the past few decades. This descriptive, qualitative study explored how social and emotional intelligence (SEI) content could be utilized to develop Batterers' Intervention programs (BIP) in Palm Beach and Broward counties in the state of Florida. This study addressed the central research question on how emotional intelligence content was used to improve program effectiveness for BIP, by discovering that Social and Emotional Intelligence does: (1) increase batterer self-awareness; provide (2) better case management through a hands-on approach; contribute to the (3) application of diverse communication approach; and support (4) a safe non-discriminatory environment. Through interviews with 12 facilitators and staff members at eight BIPs in Florida, the findings also expounded on what characteristics of SEI and content were most applicable to BIPs. It was then learned that: (1) SEI content is applicable for BIP programs; while (2) not all SEI content is seen in the Duluth Model approach; and lastly, there was an (3) unconscious use of SEI in BIP programs. The inclusion of emotional intelligence content can be used to reduce BIP failure by regulating that (4) the Power and Control Model does not work for BIP in Florida and by promoting the (5) ability to be creative and innovative. The results indicated that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all program.
Batterer intervention programming (BIP) has shown up as a source of treatment for men who abuse women since the late nineteen-seventies and have since continued to expand. Research has been done to examine how effective these programs are in many different settings at reducing intimate partner violence, but little is known about programs specific to the state of Oregon. BIPs are used as an alternative to incarceration for individuals convicted of domestic violence: existing programs are based on the Duluth Model and Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT). Other modalities have utilized trauma-informed approaches, psychoeducation, holistic modeling, and risks, need, and responsivity (RNR) modeling. This thesis will compare a literature review of the qualitative components of other known batterer intervention programs and research of what is already being done in the field to the Allies in Change curriculum written by Dr. Chriss Huffine, based out of Portland Oregon.
The goal of any batterer intervention program is to stop violent behaviors; but just as important is the transformation of the participant's thoughts, feelings and behaviors in order to eliminate all forms of abuse in their interpersonal relationships. Utilizing a strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approach, this trauma-informed, 52-week batterer intervention curriculum and program design addresses mindfulness, attachment issues; and when used as designed, the facilitator will be able to see higher retention rates and identifiable changes in participants' thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This unique program design incorporates adult learning principles and activities to impart information which will • educate the participant on what constitutes abusive behaviors; • stimulate introspection; • promote personal responsibility for abusive behaviors, and; • teach non-violent conflict resolution. Some of the sessions are packed with activity and discussion, while others are designed to stimulate deeper introspection. This design helps in keeping the participant's interest and often they don't even realize that two-hours has elapsed. Ultimately, it is anticipated that the participant will develop and demonstrate empathy for those they have victimized. This material and program design has been praised by participants for what they have learned; by their family members for the positive changes in behaviors and responses to conflict; and by program facilitators who have found the process stimulating and rewarding.
