  4. Social CapitalPutnam, R (2000). Bowling alone: the collapse and revival of American Community The expected collective or economic benefits derived from the preferential treatment and cooperation between individuals and groups Social networks have value Just as a screwdriver (physical capital) or university education (cultural/human capital) can increase productivity…so do social contacts affect the productivity of individuals/ groups

  9. Perpetrator Rehabilitation In a meta-analytic review examining the findings of 22 studies evaluating the treatment efficacy of therapeutic interventions for domestically violent males (beyond legal interventions), only a minimal impact was found (Babcock, Green, and Robie, 2004).

  10. Perpetrator Rehabilitation Another review of nine rigorous evaluations of domestic violence treatment programmes (Washington State Institute for Public Policy, 2006) concluded that domestic violence rehabilitation programmes “have yet to demonstrate reductions in recidivism”.

  11. Perpetrator Rehabilitation Further evidence of the absence of a strong evidence base for domestic violence interventions were the results of a 2009 review of seven domestic violence perpetrator treatment studies (Stover, Meadows and Kaufman, 2009). The evidence from these studies suggest that perpetrator interventions have limited effect on repeated violence, with most studies demonstrating minimal or no benefit, above the no treatment group.
