TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Domestic and family violence behaviour change programs: an examination of gendered and non-gendered frameworks JO - Journal of community safety and well-being A1 - Boxhall, Emily A1 - Birch, Philip SP - 75 EP - 80 VL - 7 IS - 2 N2 - This article sets out to examine the dichotomous frameworks used to inform domestic and family violence (DFV) behaviour change programs (BCPs). Based on a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) methodology, we consider what works and what does not work in the delivery of Domestic and Family Violence programs through a gendered and non-gendered framework. This methodology was selected as it supports a balanced assessment of existing published research in the area, allowing for the current knowledge base to be critically examined. As a result, the REA revealed both the strengths and weaknesses of traditional gendered approaches focusing on the Duluth Model and non-gendered therapeutic approaches focusing on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Yet, while strengths and weaknesses can be seen in both the "violence as gendered" and "violence as non-gendered" paradigms, a case is made for only delivering BCPs within a non-gendered framework.
