Abstract

[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 30(5) of Journal of Family Violence (see record 2015-25701-001). In the original article, there was an error in the referenced author Kenneth Corvo's name. The corrected name of the author is present in the erratum.] The following presents the outcome of an evaluation of family violence prevention programs for male offenders. The moderate and high intensity programs were designed and implemented to conform to the Risk-Needs-Responsivity (RNR) principles. Results showed that program participation significantly reduced attitudes that supported violence against women and improved pro-social skills related to non-abusive relationships; treatment effects were moderate to high. Parole officer feedback generally reported positive changes in behavior and attitude associated with treatment. A post-release follow-up indicated that program completion significantly reduced spousal violence and general violent recidivism. Program participation did not, however, have a significant impact on non-violent crime. Results indicate that domestic violence programs respecting the RNR principles may be effective in reducing partner violence. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
