Batterer intervention programs (BIPs) provide treatment options for domestic violence offenders across the United States with varying degrees of standardization of programs required by law. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current State Standards for Batterer Intervention Programs (SSBIPs) in the United States. The primary research question was to discern the minimum requirements and mandates for BIPs of the 50 states. Results from the content analysis of the 44 states with SSBIPs indicated that there were some commonalities (e.g., approach to offender treatment) among the standards; however, there persisted varied minimum standards within SSBIPs for a majority of elements within BIPs (e.g., intake, screening, and assessment procedures; curriculum; training and educational requirements for BIPs providers and supervisors; and evaluation of the BIP programs). Recommendations and implications are discussed.
施虐者干预项目(Batterer Intervention Programs,BIPs)为美国各地的家庭暴力罪犯提供了治疗选择,这些项目在法律规定的项目标准化程度上存在差异。本研究旨在调查美国当前的施虐者干预项目州标准(State Standards for Batterer Intervention Programs,SSBIPs)。主要研究问题是辨别 50 个州的 BIP 最低要求和规定。对 44 个有 SSBIPs 的州的内容分析结果表明,标准之间存在一些共性(例如,罪犯治疗方法);然而,在 BIP 中的大多数元素(例如,摄入、筛选和评估程序;课程;BIP 提供者和主管的培训和教育要求;以及 BIP 项目的评估)中,SSBIPs 内仍然存在不同的最低标准。讨论了建议和影响。
