    Management of domestic violence: risk-based assessment and intervention guidelines with perpetrators of intimate violence
    (University of the Western Cape, 2004) Londt, Marcel P; Terblanche, Susan S.; Kotze, Theunis; Dept. of Social Work; Faculty of Community and Health Sciences
    The main goal of this study was to develop assessment and intervention guidelines that will provide practitioners with a framework to develop and implement batterer intervention programmes. The development of batterer intervention programmes must be informed by risk-based assessment and the study has identified this as a priority. This priority was informed by the popular notions that batterer intervention by itself, is futile and that intervention efforts were misdirected and useless. The author was of the opinion that if specific risk markers were identified, the batterer intervention efforts could be a tool to influence the values, beliefs and dangerous behaviours of abusive men. This study attempted to formally identify those risk factors that should be considered with batterers so that appropriate guidelines for assessment and intervention could result.
