WV BATTERER INTERVENTION PREVENTION
PROGRAM (BIPP)
Purpose & Philosophy
The purpose of the Batterer Intervention & Prevention Program (BIPP) is to reduce the frequency and severity of domestic violence
in the communities that the program serves. The BIPP works in collaboration with the local Domestic Violence program to provide
the communities served with the most comprehensive range of appropriate services.
The BIPP is licensed by the West Virginia Family Protection Services Board (FPSB) and is offered by a variety of entities. The BIPP
collaborates with the legal system to address the problem of Domestic Violence (DV) in the most consistent and appropriate manner
possible. Assisting the local DV program in maintaining victim safety and assisting the legal system to hold perpetrators
appropriately accountable for their abusive behavior are the BIPP’s highest priorities.
Core Beliefs of BIPP:
▪ Domestic Violence is a serious crime against both the victim and the entire family system.
▪ DV perpetrators will usually continue to engage in a pattern of abusive/controlling behavior until society (not merely the victim
or family) holds them accountable for this behavior.
▪ Battering is a behavior that perpetrators have learned; it is NOT the result of heredity, addiction, or any unalterable medical,
psychological, or personality condition.
▪ Accountability for abusive behavior is neither eliminated nor minimized by alcohol/other drug problems, mental illness, or by
behavior on the part of the victim that the abuser perceives as inflammatory.
▪ Abusive behavior which is learned can be “unlearned”, or replaced with behavior that is more appropriate, respectful, and
empathic.
▪ The potential for arrest and incarceration are the consequences that most DV perpetrators are most eager to avoid.
▪ Perpetrators of Domestic offenses that do not involve physical violence (e.g. Domestic Stalking, Telephone Harassment) generally
hold the same beliefs and motives as DV perpetrators.
▪ Perpetrator intervention programs are the most effective services that are available in order to provide offenders with the
assistance they need in accepting appropriate levels of responsibility for their behavior and developing appropriate alternatives
to abusive/controlling behavior the essential components of healthy intimate (and/or other domestic) relationships.
▪ Until the perpetrator has successfully completed a perpetrator intervention program that is conducted in accordance with FPSB
guidelines, other forms of treatment that purport to address the abusive behavior itself (particularly any treatment that require
involvement from the victim/other family) are NOT appropriate, and can actually increase the potential danger to the victim(s).
Nature of the program
The BIPP is a thirty-two (32) week program, with one group session per week and each session lasting for ninety to 120(90-120)
minutes. The BIPP is operated in accordance with all applicable FPSB guidelines.
The content of the BIPP includes all forms of abusive behavior identified on the Power & Control Wheel in addition to healthy
alternatives identified on the Equality Wheel, initially developed by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project of Duluth, MN (DAIP).
This information is conveyed through a variety of formats, including facilitator lecture, group discussion, client self-disclosure,
videos, and written handouts.
Other sources of program content include education about the prevalence and severity of DV both locally and nationwide, the
relationship between alcohol/other drug abuse and DV, the characteristics distinguishing the BIPP from traditional anger

management treatment, the characteristics that distinguish male-perpetrated DV from female-perpetrated DV, the etiology and
impact of belief systems that condone abusive behavior, and the course of abusive relationships.

Important Note
West Virginia Code § 62-11-22 maintains that a perpetrator of domestic violence is ineligible for pretrial
diversion until appropriate guidelines for such programs are developed and approved by the Community
Corrections Subcommittee of the Governor’s Committee on Crime, Delinquency, and Correction. The WV
Family Protection Services Board adheres to the requirements of said Statute in the licensure of WV Batterer
Intervention Prevention Programs.
