The Safety Networks Program (SNP) is a model of coordinated community responses to intimate partner violence (IPV) and has been implemented in every county and city in Taiwan. The aim of this study is to understand SNP strategies and to examine the impact of SNP on IPV victims. Research methods include the follow-up and analysis of 22 high-risk cases and the interview of four high-risk SNP clients. Results show that the high risk incidents involved multiple violent behaviors, and were very dangerous. On average, each case received 10.6 SNP services from the SNP, and police officers and social workers had played the most important roles than other professionals. Under the SNP supervision, high-risk cases had low recidivism rates. The post-SNP supervision recidivism rate of 40% for high-risk cases decreased was much lower than the pre-SNP intervention rate. SNP demonstrated crossagency, multiple strategies, and high density service deliveries as predicted. As the safety needs of IPV victims await to be met, the SNP model offers a promising option to both victims and professionals. |
