Cognitive Flexibility and Reaction Time Improvements After Cognitive Training Designed for Men Perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence: Results of a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

A. Romero-Martinez et al.

Summary: The study found that IPV perpetrators who received SIP + cognitive training improved their processing speed and cognitive flexibility after the intervention, with the lowest risk of recidivism post-intervention. However, cognitive improvements and reductions in the risk of recidivism were found to be unrelated after the intervention.

Lata Satyen et al.

Summary: The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of offender intervention programs in reducing recidivism, changing perpetrator behavior, and addressing mental health issues for culturally diverse groups.

Motivational Interview Techniques and the Effectiveness of Intervention Programs With Perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence: A Systematic Review

Teresa Pinto e Silva et al.

Summary: This systematic review analyzes the incorporation of Motivational Interview Techniques (MIT) in Perpetrators' Intervention Programs (PIPs) for intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators and its potential impact on their behavior and attitudes. The results demonstrate that MIT increases attendance rates, treatment adherence, motivation for change, and behavioral and attitudinal outcomes, particularly among participants with low readiness to change and in the early stages of change.

This suggests a need for further assessment and possibly treatment for those experiencing cognitive difficulties.

Rapid Review of Men's Behavior Change Programs

Amanda O'Connor et al.

Summary: Family violence refers to violence towards a family member that is threatening, coercive, controlling, dominating, primarily affecting women and children. Men's Behavior Change Programs aim to change perpetrators' violent behaviors but there is limited evidence on the evaluations of these programs. Positive changes were reported for MBCP participants, but there is a lack of assessment on the links between men's accountability to the safety and well-being of women and children.

Danielle Stephens-Lewis et al.

Summary: There is limited evidence on effective interventions for male IPV perpetrators who use substances, and integrated interventions did not show superior outcomes compared to treatment as usual in meta-analysis. Future trials should consider key factors in intervention design and outcome measurement.

Compared to What? A Meta-Analysis of Batterer Intervention Studies Using Nontreated Controls or Comparisons

Shih-Ying Cheng et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that batterer intervention programs are effective in reducing recidivism of domestic violence and general offense when reported by the criminal justice system, but not when assessed by the survivor. Participants in BIPs were about 3 times less likely to have DV recidivism and about 2.5 times less likely to have general offense recidivism, compared to nontreated control/comparison groups. The pooled effect size varied by research design, with significant results for quasi-experimental design studies but not for randomized controlled trials.
