Identifying subgroups at high risk of dropping out of domestic batterer treatment: The buffering effects of a high school education

Article Abstract:

The subgroups of domestic batterers who are at a low or high risk of failing to complete domestic batterer cognitive behavioral treatment are identified. Two-thirds of high school graduates complete both domestic violence treatment and substance abuse treatment when compared with only one third of high school dropouts, suggesting that completion of a high school degree or job training should be encouraged before mandating domestic violence treatment.
