Perpetrators of male-to-female intimate partner violence (IPV) may be likely to have multiple service needs, the extent of which may vary with respect to criminal justice involvement. The salience of the criminal justice system and the potential impact on service needs due to arrest and incarceration is underscored given the association between substance use and IPV. This study utilized a sample of men in methadone treatment who perpetrated male-to-female IPV in order to examine associations between criminal justice involvement and perceived additional service need(s). Results indicate that the likelihood of having a service need(s) significantly increased as time since most recent arrest or incarceration decreased. These findings highlight the need and potential benefit that can be derived from greater coordination amongst the criminal justice, IPV prevention, and drug treatment systems and service providers.
男性对女性亲密伴侣暴力行为（IPV）的实施者可能有多种服务需求，其程度可能因刑事司法介入情况而异。鉴于物质使用与IPV之间的关联，刑事司法系统的重要性以及逮捕和监禁对服务需求的潜在影响得到了强调。本研究以接受美沙酮治疗且实施男性对女性IPV的男性为样本，以检验刑事司法介入与感知到的额外服务需求之间的关联。结果表明，自最近一次逮捕或监禁以来的时间越短，有服务需求的可能性就显著增加。这些发现凸显了刑事司法、IPV预防、药物治疗系统及服务提供者之间加强协调的必要性和潜在益处。
