Researchers examining court dispositions and domestic violence recidivism have argued that disposition effectiveness varies by offender characteristics. We extended this research with analyses of 3,662persons arrested for misdemeanor assaults on intimates in Hamilton County, Ohio. The incidence, prevalence, and time to rearrest are examined for arrestees with no filed charges, subsequently dropped charges, court-mandated treatment, probation, jail, and split sentences. No filed charges and probation correspond with significant differences in all outcomes across the entire sample. Moreover, every disposition coincides with differences in rearrest for particular subgroups of arrestees (distinguished by violent histories, substance abuse, cohabitation, race, education, residential stability, and characteristics of neighborhood populations).

This study is a qualitative evaluation of the experiences of 12 young heroin dependent persons who failed to comply with court mandated treatment orders. Based on a phenomenological method of inquiry, the paper explores their perceptions of both compulsory treatment and an outreach intervention. Reasons reported by participants for non-compliance with court directives included (i) their belief that treatment cannot be mandated but must be driven by personal motivation for change, (ii) a lack of confidence in the efficacy of some treatment services, and (iii) lifestyle issues which create barriers to compliance. Outreach interventions were viewed positively by all participants due to (i) convenience and accessibility, (ii) capacity to engender a sense of achievement, and (iii) humanistic orientation. In addition to providing a voice for these young offenders, the paper identifies the potential for their attitudes and behaviours to be explored within a framework characterised by the struggle that some young people experience in an attempt to retain integrity and experience personal power within a context of systemic powerlessness.

This article examines the characterization of men in a court-mandated treatment for violence against their partners as holding a sacred vision of the 5 moral foundations and of their own morality. This characterization is compatible with the assumption that a sacred moral world is easily threatened by reality and that may be associated to violent defensive actions. The results from latent class analyses reveal (a) a 4-class distribution depending exclusively on the intensity with which all participants (violent and nonviolent) tend to sacralize the actions proposed in the Moral Foundations Sacredness Scale and (b) a greater prevalence of the violent participants among the classes that are more prone to sacralize. They also show that they hold an inflated moral vision of themselves: They think they are much more moral than intelligent than others who have never been charged with criminal behavior (Muhammad Ali effect).
