Summary
Surrogate impact panels in batterer intervention programs help abusive partners understand intimate partner violence (IPV) impacts, fostering emotional connection and intent to change.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Criminology
- Psychology
Background:
- Restorative justice programs, specifically surrogate impact panels, are increasingly utilized for intimate partner violence (IPV).
- Limited research exists on the effects of these panels on abusive partners participating in batterer intervention programs (BIPs).
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the perceived impacts of surrogate impact panels on justice-involved individuals (JIIs) within BIPs.
- To understand how JIIs connect with panel speakers and their experiences of IPV.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative surveys administered to 289 JIIs who attended a surrogate impact panel.
- Qualitative data collected through focus groups and interviews with JIIs, panelist speakers, and BIP providers.
Main Results:
- JIIs reported connecting with speakers' personal accounts.
- Participants demonstrated new understandings of the impacts of their abusive behavior.
- JIIs expressed emotional responses and an intention to change their behavior.
Conclusions:
- Surrogate impact panels appear to positively influence JIIs' perceptions and intentions within BIPs.
- Findings support the integration of surrogate impact panels as a component of IPV interventions.
- Further research should explore long-term behavioral changes and program efficacy.
