“The impact of batterer intervention programs is linked to conditions in communities and the larger society. BIPs in communities with high rates of crime, unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, and poverty face challenges in engaging participants and receiving adequate support from the criminal justice system.

The most successful BIPs are embedded in
communities with a highly functioning, well-resourced
coordinated community response that holds men accountable and supports victim safety, autonomy and dignity.

No single intervention, such as a BIP, can be appropriately evaluated without consideration of community and societal contexts, and, among other things, what those contexts mean to victims and
perpetrators.”
