TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Evaluating programs for men who batter: Problems and prospects JO - Journal of family violence A1 - Gondolf, Edward W. SP - 95 EP - 108 VL - 2 IS - 1 N2 - The uncertainty and controversy that surround batterer programs beg more systematic evaluation of program effectiveness. The current national surveys and limited evaluations of batterer programs point to several methodological improvements that include comparisons of program modalities, observation study of the group interaction, and more sensitive measures of abuse. Therefore, suggestions for future evaluations are posed, and continuing problematic areas, such as access to the victim, sensitized responses, selectivity of clients, and community context, are discussed.
