Summary

Immigrant men in Massachusetts batterer intervention (BI) programs were more likely to complete programs than nonimmigrants. Culturally specific groups showed higher completion, but results were not statistically significant.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Batterer intervention (BI) programs aim to reduce domestic violence.
  • Understanding the participation and completion rates of diverse populations in BI programs is crucial for program effectiveness.
  • Immigrant populations may face unique barriers or facilitators in accessing and completing such programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe immigrant clients in Massachusetts BI programs (2002-2004).
  • To compare BI program completion rates between immigrant and nonimmigrant clients.
  • To examine completion rates of immigrants in non-English, culturally specific BI groups versus mainstream groups.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of client data from Massachusetts BI programs (N=480).
  • Categorization of clients into immigrant and nonimmigrant groups.
  • Comparison of program completion rates using statistical analysis, including odds ratios.

Main Results:

  • Immigrants constituted 14% of BI program clients; 73% were non-U.S. citizens.
  • Immigrants demonstrated higher program completion rates (54%) compared to nonimmigrants (38%).
  • Immigrants in non-English groups had higher completion (66%) than those in mainstream groups (46%), though not statistically significant.

Conclusions:

  • Immigrant status appears associated with higher completion rates in Massachusetts BI programs.
  • Culturally specific, non-English BI groups may offer advantages for immigrant completion, warranting further investigation.
  • Programmatic adaptations may be needed to support diverse populations in batterer intervention.
