Limited information exists on the extent to which male perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) are engaged in the use of human services for co-occuringpsychosocial and health issues. The current analysis uses administrative data from one batterer intervention program (BIP) and data from the local Department of Human Services to explore perpetrators' engagement with human services, and the relationship of that use to timing and completion of the BIP. Data for 330 adult male clients referred to the participating BIP from 2010 to 2015 were collected. A majority (63%) had engaged in at least one human service program. The most common kind of service was mental health (46%). The most specific service engagement was child welfare as a parent (41%). Engagement largely concluded prior to beginning the BIP. BIP completers had less service use overall. Future work should explore how these services could be utilized to improve the success of BIPs and reduce perpetration.
关于亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)男性施暴者在多大程度上因同时出现的心理社会和健康问题而使用人类服务,现有信息有限。当前的分析使用了来自一个施暴者干预项目(BIP)的行政数据以及当地人类服务部的数据,以探讨施暴者对人类服务的使用情况,以及这种使用与BIP的时间安排和完成情况之间的关系。收集了2010年至2015年转介到参与该BIP的330名成年男性客户的数据。大多数(63%)至少参与了一个人类服务项目。最常见的服务类型是心理健康服务(46%)。最具体的服务参与情况是作为家长参与儿童福利服务(41%)。服务参与大多在开始BIP之前就结束了。BIP的完成者总体上使用服务的情况较少。未来的工作应探索如何利用这些服务来提高BIP的成功率并减少暴力行为。
