Do batterer intervention programs serve African American and Caucasian batterers equally well? An investigation of a 26-week program

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to evaluate a 26-week batterer intervention program by investigating changes in psychological variables related to abuse between pretreatment and posttreatment assessments in a sample of men involuntarily placed in treatment. This analysis failed to provide empirical support for the contention that both African American and Caucasian batterers would demonstrate significant changes on psychological variables related to violence, as a result of their participation in a 26-week batterer treatment program.
