Intervening with Perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence: A Global Perspective (2005, unknown): “Indeed, it appears that 22–42% of abusers in US and Canadian programmes fail to complete their assigned programme (Rooney & Hanson, 2001; Saunders & Parker, 1989; DeMaris, 1989; Gondolf, 2002; Pirog-Good & Stets, 1986).”
Variables Associated With Attrition From Domestic Violence Treatment Programs Targeting Male Batterers (2010, background): “…generally found that men who inflict more severe forms of physical or psychological abuse are more likely to drop out of treatment than men who use less severe forms of violence (Carney, Jewell, Wormith / DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TREATMENT ATTRITION 1089 Buttell, & Muldoon, 2006; Rooney & Hanson, 2001).”
Predictors of sex offender treatment dropout: psychopathy, sex offender risk, and responsivity implications (2011, background): “…often the highest risk, highest need individuals are those most likely to dropout, a finding that extends to violent offenders (Wormith & Olver, 2002), domestic batterers (Rooney & Hanson, 2001), sex offenders (Nunes & Cortoni, 2008), and psychopathic offenders (Ogloff, Wong, & Greenwood, 1990).”
