Assessing Domestic Violence Intervention Programs in the United States: Identifying Strengths, Weaknesses, and a Path Towards Restorative Justice

Domestic violence intervention programs (DVIPs), also known as batterer intervention programs (BIPs), are court-mandated and self-referred programs designed to address domestic violence perpetration through psycho-educational approaches and/or cognitive behavioral therapy. By building on the extant evidence base and conducting formative research, we will identify DVIPs that have demonstrated effectiveness and innovative practices, including the utilization of restorative justice frameworks, and assess their curricula, service delivery approaches, partnerships, and administrative structures. We will use this information as the basis to determine DVIP best practices, with the goal of improved outcomes in mitigating domestic violence.
