ABSTRACT

Following the enactment of the Organic Law 1 / 2004 on comprehensive protection measures against gender violence, intervention programs for both batterers serving in prison who later access to a semi-free period and for those with suspension of the sentence enforcement who work in community services have become necessary. Herein, we describe, maintain, and go further in rehabilitation of batterers in order to prevent further episodes of violence and protect and guarantee battered women's safety.
