Barner, J. & Carney, M stated Current treatment of offenders is based on the model created by the
Duluth Domestic Abuse Intervention Project in 1981. The Duluth Model created
the “Power and Control Wheel” to explain violent relationships and this model
is in wide practice today in all 50 states (p. 237). Congress passed the
Violence Against Women Act in 1994 that called for more examination of Intimate Partner Violence as
an issue in the US (p. 238). Other contemporary actions to increase the
effectiveness of handling IPV cases by law enforcement are the start of
Mandatory Arrest Laws. These laws changed how victims and perpetrators were
seen and allowed police to determine if an arrest needed to be made, removing
the victims and offender from this decision.
Dutton, D.& Sonkin, D. (2003). Perspectives on the Treatment of Intimate Violence. Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma. In their studies the presence of shame appeared to be a large factor in whether someone was violent or not. Including this factor in the treatment of offenders is proposed to increase the effectiveness of treatment. Finding effective treatment models is important to criminal justice practices since courts often order offenders to treatment as part of sentencing and court ordered intervention. Other new elements are being added to contemporary treatment for offenders such as a treatment model developed by Marsha Linehan for borderline personality disorders and methods of body work that teach anger management and stress management by using breathing techniques.
Franklin and Kercher wrote the article The Intergenerational Transmission of Intimate Partner Violence: Differentiating Correlates in a Random Community Sample and this study was based on the theory of if a child witness’s violence on their parents, they are likely to become abusive. The study suggests that children become less aware of when it is necessary and unnecessary to be aggressive as a result of the violence surrounding them. The violence manifests itself in many ways and begins a cycle. This is why it is so important when people state the words "BREAK THE CYCLE".
Vatnar and Bjørkly stated in their article in Journal of Family Violence called Interactional Aspects of Intimate Partner Violence Result in Different Help-Seeking Behaviors in a Representative Sample of Women different statistics of intimate partner violence and studies of women who sought help afterword. It was believed that no negative consequences would affect anyone who survived intimate partner violence and this study proved this to be inaccurate. The psychological damage must be repaired for these people. Also shared is many statistics for this problem- 7% of intimate partner violence is reported to the police, and only 1 out of 3 discusses injuries with a physician. This study was done in Norway.
