We give voice to diverse women who are battered by translating their experiences into innovative programs and institutional changes that centralize victim safety. We partner with communities worldwide to inspire the social and political will to eliminate violence against women and their families.
Shepard, M. Predicting batterer recidivism five years after community intervention. Journal of Family Violence, 7 3 , Type of Study: Long-term follow-up Number of Participants: Summary: To include basic study design, measures, results, and notable limitations Researchers tracked court-mandated offenders who had been ordered to complete a week education program over a 5-year period.
Data was collected from agency records and questionnaires completed at the time of the intervention. Forty percent were identified as recidivists.
Men who had been any of the following: abusive for a shorter duration prior to the program, ordered to a chemical dependency program, in a chemical dependency program, abused as children, or previously convicted of other crimes were more likely to be recidivists. Variables related to the original intervention, such as the number of sessions attended, completion of the program, and type of court intervention criminal or civil did not significantly predict recidivism.
Dobash, R. A research evaluation of British programmes for violent men. Journal of Social Policy, 28 2 , Summary: To include basic study design, measures, results, and notable limitations Men ordered by the court to one of two British batterer intervention programs, including CHANGE, which is based on the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project - The Duluth Model DAIP , were compared with men given other sanctions such as probation, prison time, or fines in a nonequivalent control group design.
Men self-reported violence on the Violence Assessment Index. Women partners self-reported injuries on the Injury Assessment Index. The Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs was the first intervention project started in that focused on working with both governmental and nongovernmental agencies using an organizing method that has come to be known as the Duluth Model.
The goal was always to improve the lives of victims experiencing battering, hold offenders accountable while offering opportunities for rehabilitation. The Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs created the first coordinated community response across all criminal justice agencies, the first visitation center focused on those experiencing ongoing domestic violence and one of the first rehabilitation programs for those who batter their intimate partner.
The programs created in Duluth have been adapted worldwide and our work as an agency is local, national and international in scope. We give voice to diverse women who are battered by translating their experiences into innovative programs and institutional changes that centralize victim safety.
We partner with communities worldwide to inspire the social and political will to eliminate violence against women and their families. Shared leadership is more aligned with our history in the feminist movement and is more in line with our organizational identity while also giving space to individual identities. Over the years, DAIP has had many iterations of shared leadership.
In our early years, we were a collective and then moved to a leadership team which then turned into a single ED and now to Co-Executive Directors. Each had its advantages and weaknesses but DAIP as an agency positions most organizational issues up for collective discussion and decision. Shared leadership better reflects how the agency currently operates. Although both Co-Directors have leadership responsibilities for the whole organization, day to day decisions and direction can be split between Base Teams.
