Decommissioning of the RESPECT “Accredited” DAPP programmes in the UK
From the UK the Domestic Violence Intervention Programme (DVIP) took the Duluth model from America back to Britain. The outcomes have been frankly appalling; but nevertheless the ex DVIP staff gained traction with THE MOJ (Ministry Of Justice).
Each of the 6 or 7 pieces of major research into the near non-existent outcomes of the work have been glossed over, with a “try harder” type of encouragement. Finally, thank goodness, patience – or frustration with the ideology have run out.
Your own, the late Ellen Pence, really nailed the problems that had been built into “her” Duluth programme as far back as 1999. The book cover and the passage are in this link .
In this link we talk in much greater detail about the problems. On Record: David Eggins and Denise Knowles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaNQ7gmGCkk
