The\r\nprogram was set up as an early intervention program to provide\r\ndomestic violence (DV) education for arrestees during their time of\r\ndetention before going to court. This evaluation used an experimental\r\ndesign. The researchers randomly assigned 629 batterers to either the\r\nbatterer treatment wing of the jail or to a no-treatment control group\r\nin another wing of the jail. Interviews were conducted with the\r\nbatterers and victims shortly after the arrest that placed the\r\nbatterer in the Sacramento jail (Parts 1 and 2) and again six months\r\nafter the intervention or control condition was concluded (Parts 3 and\r\n4). Official police arrest data on recidivism were also collected\r\npost-arrest (Part 5). Interviews were conducted over the phone, except\r\nfor the baseline batterer interviews that were done in the jail, and\r\nfor those who were not available for interviewing, over the phone.\r\nActivities of the batterer treatment program included: mandatory\r\ndetention in a special DV jail wing supervised by correction officers\r\nwho had received special DV training, batterer educational workshops,\r\ndaily Twelve-Step Drug/Alcohol addiction support groups, and strict\r\nregulations on television watching (special nonviolent educational\r\nprograms were the only available programs). Batterer education classes\r\nwere held daily, and the research team checked attendance logs. The\r\narrestees were required at least to attend the program classes and\r\nNarcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous groups and sit quietly. For\r\nthe control group, participants were assigned to the regular part of\r\nthe jail and received the usual incarceration experience of persons\r\ndetained in the Sacramento County Jail (including no treatment\r\nservices). Official police arrest data on recidivism were analyzed for\r\nup to one year post-arrest (Part 5). Treatment implementation data\r\n(Part 6), which records the frequency of the batterer's attendance in\r\nthe various treatment programs offered in the special DV jail wing,\r\nand variables used in the analysis for the project's final report\r\n(Part 7) are also available with this collection. In addition to\r\ngeneral demographic variables such as age, race, religion, source of\r\nincome, and employment situation, specific variables are gathered for\r\nspecific datasets. Variables collected in Parts 1 and 2 (Batterer and\r\nVictim Baseline Data) include information regarding whether or not the\r\nbatterer was in the treatment or control group, the relationship\r\nbetween the batterer and victim, and types of injuries the victim\r\nreceived. Parts 3 and 4 (Batterer and Victim Six-Month Data) contain\r\nvariables related to employment and living situation, as well as any\r\nadditional assistance either party received since the arrest\r\nevent. Variables in Part 5 (Tracking Database) include the date,\r\nlocation, and length of interviews. Part 6 (Treatment and\r\nImplementation Data) contains variables related to the different\r\nprograms the batterer in the experimental group may have participated\r\nin. The variables for Part 7 (Supplemental Final Report Variables)\r\ninclude information about the study participants such as whether all\r\nfour interviews were completed and the presence of any new domestic\r\nviolence charges.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR04383.v1", "title": "Effects of Short-Term Batterer Treatment for Detained Arrestees in Sacramento County, California, 1999-2000"}], "identifier": "3430", "issued": "2007-02-13T00:00:00", "keyword": ["domestic assault", "domestic violence", "offenders", "recidivism", "treatment", "treatment outcome", "violence against women"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2007-02-13T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Effects of Short-Term Batterer Treatment for Detained Arrestees in Sacramento County, California, 1999-2000"}
