NY Model for Batterer Programs
The purpose of the NY Model for Batterer Programs is to provide a service to the civil and criminal court systems, for men who appear as a result of their acts of domestic violence. As a service to the courts, a NY Model batterer program is utilized to extend judicial monitoring (both pre-disposition and post-disposition) and as a mechanism for offender accountability. To function effectively it is crucial that: A NY Model batterer program is not used as a diversion from a more serious consequence; Orders to attend a NY Model batterer program are made only when the court will issue a consequence to the offender who does not comply; and Voluntary participants are not accepted to attend a NY Model batterer program.
The key role of a NY Model batterer program is to provide the courts with an opportunity to assess an offender's seriousness about following the conditions of a court order. From point of referral, each participant’s adherence to program policies and procedures is rigorously monitored. Compliance reports, tailored to the request of each court, are sent to the court in a reliable and meticulous manner. The role of a NY Model batterer program as a mechanism for accountability and monitoring is of primary significance.
