The study also sought to understand the\r\ngoals that courts, batterer programs, and victim assistance agencies\r\ncurrently ascribe to batterer programs. In March 2005, a preliminary\r\nsurvey was sent to 2,445 batterer programs nationwide found through\r\nmultiple sources. Preliminary survey results were analyzed, and a\r\nfinal sample of 260 communities or triads (courts, batterer programs,\r\nand victim assistance agencies) was selected. Respondents were asked\r\nto complete a Web-based survey in May 2006. Alternatively, respondents\r\ncould request a hard-copy version of the survey. The variables in this\r\nstudy encompass community demographic information, the functions that\r\ncourt mandates to batterer programs serve, and the primary focus of\r\nthe curriculum of batterer programs. Variables specific to batterer\r\nprograms capture whether the program accepts court-mandated referrals\r\nonly or volunteers as well, the length and duration of the program,\r\npossible reasons for noncompliance, and an approximate program\r\ncompletion rate. Variables related to the interaction between courts\r\nand batterer programs capture whether the court receives progress\r\nreports from the batterer program, and if so, when, and who receives\r\nthem.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR20346.v1", "title": "Court Responses to Batterer Program Noncompliance in the United States, 2005-2006"}], "identifier": "3779", "issued": "2007-11-02T00:00:00", "keyword": ["criminal justice system", "family violence", "recidivism", "recidivists"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2007-11-02T00:00:00", "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": "Court Responses to Batterer Program Noncompliance in the United States, 2005-2006"}
