Batterer Intervention Systems Study
In December 2005, the Administrative Office of the Courts, Office of Court Research was awarded a research grant from the National Institute of Justice to study batterer intervention programs (BIPs) in California. The study encompasses five California counties, 53 BIPs that provided client data, and over 1,000 men enrolled in BIPs. The study found that the strongest predictors of success in treating offenders convicted of a criminal domestic violence offense were the individual characteristics of the offenders, not the features of batterer intervention programs of the attributes of the court jurisdiction.
