"Consumer" Recommendations for Batterers Programs

This exploratory "consumer" study summarizes the responses of batterers and their female partners to an open-ended question asking for recommendations for batterer programs. As part of a multisite evaluation (N = 840 men), 594 men and 616 female partners responded 3 and 6 months after—program intake. Nearly half of the men (42%) and half of the women (54%) made no recommendations, suggesting acceptance of the programs' approaches and formats. However, 14% of the men and 13% of the women did recommend modifications. Men's recommendations were more likely to call for more supportive counseling, and women's recommendations were more likely to relate to safety and information. Only a very small percentage (6%) of women recommended couples or coeducational counseling. Men with higher education and White women were more likely to offer recommendations. Recommendations significantly varied by program site, but no association existed for program dropouts.
