CSAC Establishes Domestic Violence Task Force

March 31, 2016

CSAC is establishing a multi-disciplinary task force to review the domestic violence intervention batterers programs required by various statutes. The task force will 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.  

The Administration of Justice Policy Committee recently approved the task force, which will have participation 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. 

Once these steps are completed, the task force will draft a report making recommendations of how to improve and reform California’s statutes overseeing domestic violence intervention programs.  The report will be presented to the AOJ Committee upon its completion for recommended policy and potential legislative changes.
