Are interventions with batterers effective? A meta-analytical review

Abstract

The inconsistency in the results both internally and between of previous meta-analyses on batterer intervention program efficacy, and the publication of new batterer interventions underscored the need for an up-to-date meta-analyticalreview. A total of 25 primary studies were found from literature search, obtaining 62 effect sizes, and a total sample of 20,860 intervened batterers. The results of a global meta-analysis showed a positive, significant, and of a mediummagnitude effect size for batterer interventions, but not generalizable. Nevertheless, the results exhibited a significantly higher rate of recidivism measured in couple reports (CRs) than in official records (ORs). As a consequence, intervention efficacy measuring in CRs was null, whilst in ORs was positive and significant. As for the intervention model, positive andsignificant effects were observed under the Duluth Model and cognitive-behavioural treatment programs (CBTPs), but a higher effect size was obtained with CBTPs in comparison to the Duluth Model (under this model, interventions may have negative effects, i.e., an increase in recidivism rate). In relation to intervention length, short interventions failed to reduce recidivism in ORs and may have negative effects, while long interventions were effective in reducing recidivism rate in ORs without negative effects. Efficacy evaluations in short follow-ups were invalid as artificially boosted recidivismreduction rate. Limitations of ORs and short follow-ups as measures of the intervention efficacy and implications of results for batterer intervention are discussed.

Fede & Wilson, 2005; Le esque y Gelles, 1998).
b) The ecidi ism a e was almos 14% in in e ened ba e e s,
nea ly 13% (.1295) in ORs, and 26.13% (.2613) in CRs. Thus,

c) The esul s o he gene al me a-analysis e ealed ha

e) The ollow-up pe iod on e icacy o in e en ions media ed

Thus, sho ollow-up pe iods a i icially boos ed ecidi ism

h) Sho in e en ions ailed o educe ecidi ism in ORs and
could ha e nega i e e ec s (inc ease ecidi ism as compa ed
o no in e en ion) by almos 40%. In compa ison, long in e -

i) Howe e , in e ms o ecidi ism in CRs, he e icacy o
in e en ions e sus non-in e en ion was o ally null,
wi h a de ini e esul (i.e., gene alizable and no media ed

In conclusion, he e is a co pus o li e a u e on he e icacy o in-

in e en ions we e comple ely ine ec i e and could ha e nega i e

Model may ha e nega i e e ec s o up o 10%. In con as , long in e -
en ions based on CBTPs o OTIs ( he esul s may no be gene alised

which could each o e 80% (S o e , 2005). Howe e , ega dless he

Howe e , his does no imply ha in e en ions had a signi ican
