abstract="Although a number of studies have examined arrest, prosecution, and treatment of intimate-partner assailants, a few studies have focused on those sentenced to probation. This study aims at comparing and analyzing the characteristics and interventions of intimate-partner assailants at a probation department. This research analyzed a random sample of 108 records from cases of assault and battery referred to a district court in Michigan, from January to December 1992. Major findings revealed that 76% of the cases of assault and battery occurred between male and female intimate partners. The variables of gender and deferred prosecution demonstrated to have significant relationships (p < 0.004) with the variable of intimate relationship. The results suggested that in a significant percent of cases nonintimate partner assailants received the same punishment as intimate-partner assailants.<p />",
