CSAC’s Domestic Violence Batterer Intervention Programs Task Force
The CSAC Administration of Justice Policy Committee has created a multi-disciplinary task force on domestic violence batterer intervention programs. The task force participants range from various stakeholders including, but not limited to Chief Probation Officers of California (CPOC), California District Attorneys Association (CDAA), the California State Sheriffs Association (CSSA), California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, victim advocates, Judicial Council, and a batterer intervention program provider. The goal of this task force is meet over the next several months to review California’s batterer intervention programs; look at what other states provide for batterer intervention programs; review any research that looks at evidence-based batterer intervention programs; and go through California’s domestic violence batterer intervention statutes to see what changes are needed.
