Evaluation of Intervention Programmes in Ireland working with Domestic Violence
In 1997 the Office of the Tánaiste published the findings and recommendations of the Task Force on Violence against Women. The resulting task force report contained recommendations for all aspects of responding to and preventing domestic abuse. It included a chapter relating to programmes working with violent men, with recommendations for their development. The programmes that existed in 1997 have since developed. New ones have begun and others are planned.
In June 2003 the Department of Justice and Equality commissioned an evaluation of the programmes working with domestic abusers in Ireland, to start in July 2003 and finish in July 2004. This is the report of that evaluation.
