The criminogenic needs of general offenders have been empirically studied, but the criminogenic treatment needs of intimate partner violence (IPV) offenders, or how they compare with other violent or nonviolent offenders, have not been as thoroughly explored. Therefore, we examined and compared the criminogenic and noncriminogenic needs of 99 IPV offenders, 233 non-IPV violent offenders, and 103 nonviolent offenders, all of whom were men who had undergone institutional forensic assessment. Results indicated that IPV offenders had more treatment needs than the other two offender groups, including the Central Eight criminogenic needs. These findings support a focus on criminogenic treatment needs in batterer intervention programs for men, consistent with the principles of effective intervention for offenders.
一般罪犯的犯罪成因需求已得到实证研究，但亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）罪犯的犯罪成因治疗需求，或他们与其他暴力或非暴力罪犯相比情况如何，尚未得到充分探讨。因此，我们对99名IPV罪犯、233名非IPV暴力罪犯和103名非暴力罪犯的犯罪成因及非犯罪成因需求进行了研究和比较，所有这些人都是接受过机构法医评估的男性。结果表明，IPV罪犯比其他两组罪犯有更多的治疗需求，包括八项核心犯罪成因需求。这些发现支持在针对男性的施暴者干预项目中关注犯罪成因治疗需求，这与对罪犯有效干预的原则相一致。
