Offender Accountability & Victim Safety

Battering Intervention and Prevention Programs (BIPP) offer an opportunity for communities to extend supervision of domestic violence offenders and address abusive behavior directly.

Focusing on the core tenants of BIPP–victim safety and offender accountability–this training will define what BIPP is, how it functions in a coordinated community response to domestic violence, ways of understanding why it’s effective, and how BIPP programs are overseen in Texas.

The presenter will also support victims services and DV advocates in generating innovative ways that offender and victim programs can further collaborate and learn from each other.

Training Objectives:

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

Promote BIPP best practices in their communities in accordance with the TDCJ-CJAD State Guidelines.
Advocate for the inclusion of offender accountability services and programs within the larger coordinated community response to domestic violence.
Identify concrete ways BIPPs and DV organizations can support each other’s work
Identify resources and collaborative partners to enhance offender accountability and victim safety.
