The Need

In order to effectively serve individuals who have been abused, it is critical that our response involve proactive violence prevention services that address the source of the problem – batterers' abuse of power and control over their partners. Prevention programs aimed at stopping batterers' violence are an integral component in a holistic approach to violence, provided they are part of a graduated range of sanctions used by the criminal justice system to hold offenders accountable for their crimes and change their behavior.
