A community using the Duluth Model approach:

Has taken the blame off the victim and placed the accountability for abuse on the offender.
Has shared policies and procedures for holding offenders accountable and keeping victims safe across all agencies in the criminal and civil justice systems from 911 to the courts.
Prioritizes the voices and experiences of women who experience battering in the creation of those policies and procedures.
Believes that battering is a pattern of actions used to intentionally control or dominate an intimate partner and actively works to change societal conditions that support men’s use of tactics of power and control over women.
Offers change opportunities for offenders through court-ordered educational groups for batterers.
Has ongoing discussions between criminal and civil justice agencies, community members and victims to close gaps and improve the community’s response to battering.

The Duluth Model is literally about funding feminism.

Study after study has shown that 68% of men who take "Duluth" haven't committed an act of domestic violence in 8 years afterwards... This is an amazing success statistic when compared to other forms of violent behavior!

Um, except other studies, numerous studies, have shown that %70 of the men forced in to the Duluth Model probably didn't belong there in the first place.

I am angry:

Since the early 1980s, Duluth—a small community in northern Minnesota—

as someone from MN I'll have you know Duluth is not a small community but a decent sized city! Not a large city but definitely respectable in size.
