Intervening in Family Violence: A Resource Manual for Community Corrections Professionals

intervening.gif (39008 bytes)To be effective in the fight against child, partner and elder abuse you must understand the dynamics of abusive relationships and the characteristics of perpetrators and victims. This comprehensive book will provide you with an extensive examination of family violence and recommendations for interventions.

The goals of victim protection, offender accountability and offender behavior guide the presentation of information in this manual. The content is both theoretical and practical and is appropriate for program managers and line officers.

The material has been condensed for you in the following modules:

  • Understanding Family Violence - examines present knowledge about family violence. Entire chapters are devoted to examining child abuse, partner abuse and elder abuse, including characteristics of victims and perpetrators, consequences of abuse and responses to it.
  • Responding to Family Violence - presents the goals of community corrections intervention in family violence and an overview for planning effective probation and parole intervention programs.
  • Working with Family Violence Victims and Offenders in Community Corrections Agencies - offers detailed information about intervening with victims and offenders, mostly drawn from actual probation and parole programs and practitioner's experiences.
  • Resources - contains quick reference information for busy probation and parole professionals. In addition to a full list of all reference documents used in preparation of the manual, this module contains listings of several probation and parole agencies with family violence intervention programs; national organizations; state-by-state lists of child abuse, partner abuse and elder abuse organizations; and several sample forms that can be adapted for agency use.
