Batterer Intervention Program means a 29-week program certified hereunder that addresses the perpetration of violence by an intimate partner, spouse, ex-spouse, or a person who shares a child in common or who is a cohabitant in an intimate relationship for the purpose of exercising power and control by one over the other.
Batterer Intervention Program means a program that addresses the perpetration of domestic violence by a partner, spouse, ex-spouse, or a person who shares a child in common or who is a cohabitant in an intimate relationship, for the purpose of exercising power and control by one over the other. Batterer Intervention Programs are generally at least 24 weeks in length and include 24 weekly sessions, plus appropriate intake, assessment, and orientation programming. BIPs differ from “anger management programs” in that BIPs recognize that the batterer’s problem is not anger but rather the attitude of entitlement/ownership that accounts for the batterer’s expectation that the victim should submit to being controlled. BIPs teach the batterer that he or she has no right to control another human being, and therefore has no right to act in a controlling or coercive manner when the intended victim asserts a life of her or his own choosing. It should be noted that Couple/Marital therapy while abuse continues to occur can increase the risk of violence and is therefore not indicated until at least such time as the batterer has completed a program of batterer intervention, ceased all tactics of abuse, and claims sole responsibility for his/her history of abusive behavior. At that time, couple/marital therapy should only happen if both parties desire it.
