Because there are limited options, it is a struggle to intervene in a violent intimate relationship in a way that effectively prevents future violence. The most common intervention in cases involving partner violence is to require or order the perpetrator to Batterer’s Intervention Programs (a/k/a BIP). Despite the fact that these programs have been used for decades, the research on their value is mixed. As evidenced in the article for this week, there are inconsistent findings regarding the effectiveness of BIP. Due to the lack of other programs, BIP continues to be the most widely used response. More recently, some variations of the model and alternatives have emerged.
For this assignment, you will act as a consultant to Judges assigned to Domestic Violence Courts in Florida. Judges are concerned that despite consistently sending perpetrators to BIP, they continue to see the same individuals reoffend over and over again. They want recommendations regarding how they should respond to the offenders in their cases to rehabilitate them and decrease their incidence of future domestic violence. For this paper, you will need to research BIPs and other programs and options available for judges. Are BIPs the best option? Are there other programs or options that are effective? Is treatment in jail more effective? Is it possible to use variations of different programs?
After providing an overview of what is available and what research tells us about the options, you should make a recommendation(s) to the judges regarding how they should handle these cases moving forward. What is the best response when facing a first time, but serious domestic violence perpetrator? How about a repeat (3 or more arrests) domestic violence offender? Make sure that your recommendations are based on research that is supportive of your thoughts and ideas.
