This
paper explains that
domestic violence, also referred to as intimate partner violence (IPV), which is increasing among ethnic minority populations, is a public health concern requiring the need for
multicultural treatment options for both
batterers and victims. The author points out that the great challenge is the limited number of professionals trained to work with multicultural court-ordered clients, who face challenging issues of compulsory therapy in the context of cultural diversity. The paper relates that the purpose of the proposed
research is to evaluate qualitatively a domestic violence
intervention program directed at Latino male batterers charged with domestic violence; the research question is whether or not the various components of this intervention program are effective in the reduction of recidivism.
