[Study] The Duluth Model is a failure.

Holy crap. Destroyed.

We will focus here on the research methodology and epistemology of the arguments. We reiterate that the Duluth program was based on an initial sample size of only 9, is a monolithic model of intimate partner violence and is contradicted by numerous large sample methodologically sound studies that we cited in our article. These include a meta-analytic study of 65,000+ respondents by Archer (2000) that found women to be slightly more violent (in terms of intimate partner violence (IPV)) than men. They also include a cross cultural studies of dating violence (n =6900) by Douglas and Straus (2003) that found college girls to be more violent than college boys across 17 countries. We could add to that the recent US National Survey (Gaudioisi, 2006) that found mothers were the most violent group in terms of physical abuse toward and lethality of children (N=718,000+) or Laroche's (2005) (n =25,876) finding (in a nationally representative sample) that women used “intimate terrorism” (instrumental abuse) nearly as much as men. We wonder why Gondolf does not provide a “gender analysis” of these data (apart from rationalizing of women's violence as self-defensive (even to their children?), or the measurement instrument as being flawed whenever it reveals female violence), or tell us how to reconcile them with the Duluth view that family violence is a “male power problem” (see pages 41–48 especially of the Duluth manual).

Also this paper made me laugh. Are all social science journals this passive-aggressive-catty?

“Never argue with a man whose job depends on not being convinced.” — H.L. Mencken.

LOL

We will attempt here, so much as is possible, to not get dragged into a debate on gender-political agendas that Gondolf appears to want to initiate by citing web pages who refer to our article. That is irrelevant — it is a public article and people can do with it as they want. His claim of“the first author's role as a founding member of a legislative advocacy group advancing his goals” is factually incorrect. Our agenda is simply this — to correct the outrageous misconstruing of intimate partner violence (IPV) by social scientists who should know better.

Isn't everything feminists come up with a failure since it's based on feelz. Yeah that wasn't a question.

Wow, this is a good paper. Good find.

I don't think it fails at all. If the goal of the Duluth Model is to imprison Teh Menz, it does a bang-up job of it.

forget about the injustice towards men, the biggest losers of the Duluth model are children since it's incapable of identifying and rehabilitating violent, abusive mothers. it denies that women are accountable for their violent and abusive behavior.

i've seen this model in action, and it's tragic. a mother beats and berates her husband and children, but when the cops are called, dad always goes to jail because mom starts crying and lying. dad refuses to leave her because someone needs to protect the children from mom, and he's too broke from all the court fees and unemployment due to jail time to move out on his own anyway. remember, there are no shelters for men in these situations, only prison. child protection services won't listen to him since they believe mom's story by default as their policy dictates that men are driven by the patriarchy to control women and children through violence, manipulation, and intimidation. mom knows all of this and revels in her knowledge that she has total control over him. then those boys and girls grow up and do the same thing because it's normal to them.
