Domestic
Violence and the Role of Community Corrections
FREE
This
interactive computer-based instructional
program was originally developed for New
York State probation officers. With the
permission of the organizations that
developed it, the American Probation and
Parole Association (APPA) has adapted the
program for a broader audience through its
project, Protecting Victims Through
Community Supervision of Intimate Partner
Abusers, funded by the Office on Violence
Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice.
The APPA project has developed a set of 41
guidelines for the community supervision of
domestic violence offenders. This
computer-based instructional program
provides fundamental information about
working with domestic violence cases upon
which community corrections officers can
build skills to implement the APPA
guidelines.
The goal of this course is to assist
community corrections officers in
understanding the nature and dynamics of
domestic violence. This training program was
developed to focus on the serious nature of
domestic violence. The information in the
course focuses on the important role of
community corrections officers in supporting
the safety of victims of domestic violence
while holding offenders accountable for the
abuse of their intimate partners.
This course has been approved for three
continuing education contact hours by the
American Probation and Parole Association.
Upon completing the course and passing the
course examination with a score of 80% or
higher, you may submit your Notice of
Completion that will be generated by the
software with a signature from your
supervisor and receive a Continuing
Education Certificate from APPA.
Instructions will be furnished at the
conclusion of the course and examination.
The course can be viewed and completed by
inserting the CD in a personal computer and
consists of six lessons and a comprehensive
examination. To receive a free copy of this
CD, complete a brief
request form.
The CD will be mailed to you within two
weeks. (Limit one per person while supplies
are available.)
