This study presents data on male perpetrators of domestic violence (DV) in the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) using two samples: (a) a snapshot of all male offenders in CSC who had been assessed for DV (n = 15,166) and (b) a cumulative sample of male offenders in CSC from 2002-2010 who had been assessed as moderate or high risk for further DV (n = 4,261) DV offenders were compared to a cohort sample of non-DV offenders (n = 4,261). Analyses were disaggregated for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal offenders. Results indicated that 40% of the federal male population had a suspected history of DV and were therefore screened in for in-depth DV risk assessment. Of these, 45% were assessed as moderate or high risk for future DV. DV offenders had higher risk and criminogenic need ratings, more learning disabilities, more mental health problems, and more extensive criminal histories than those without DV histories. Aboriginal DV offenders had high levels of alcohol dependence, suggesting a need for substance abuse treatment as part of DV programming. Most federal offenders with DV histories would be described as belonging to the Antisocial/Generalized Aggressive typology and, therefore, adhering to the Risk-Need-Responsivity principles of the effective correctional literature, cognitive-behavioral treatment that focuses on teaching skills of self-management, and changing attitudes supporting relationship violence would be recommended.
本研究利用两个样本呈现了加拿大惩教服务局（CSC）中家庭暴力（DV）男性罪犯的数据：（a）对所有接受过家庭暴力评估的CSC男性罪犯的快照（n = 15,166），以及（b）2002年至2010年期间CSC中被评估为未来家庭暴力中度或高风险的男性罪犯的累积样本（n = 4,261）。将家庭暴力罪犯与非家庭暴力罪犯的队列样本（n = 4,261）进行比较。分析按原住民和非原住民罪犯进行分类。结果表明，40%的联邦男性人口有疑似家庭暴力史，因此被纳入深入的家庭暴力风险评估。其中，45%被评估为未来家庭暴力的中度或高风险。与没有家庭暴力史的人相比，家庭暴力罪犯有更高的风险和犯罪成因需求评级，更多的学习障碍，更多的心理健康问题，以及更广泛的犯罪史。原住民家庭暴力罪犯有很高的酒精依赖水平，这表明需要将药物滥用治疗作为家庭暴力项目的一部分。大多数有家庭暴力史的联邦罪犯将被描述为属于反社会/广义攻击性类型，因此，遵循有效惩教文献中的风险-需求-反应性原则，建议采用侧重于教授自我管理技能以及改变支持关系暴力态度的认知行为治疗。
