abstract="Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in demographic variables and psychological variables between treatment completers and drop-outs among abusive men entering a court-mandated treatment program. Method: The study gathered Domestic Violence Inventory (DVI) scores from 91 men, 66 treatment completers and 25 drop-outs, beginning court-ordered treatment for domestic violence offenses. Results: Logistic regression analyses indicated that none of the demographic variables or the psychological variables differentiated treatment completers from drop-outs. Conclusion: Implications of the findings for improving retention rates among men attending court-mandated batterer treatment programs were explored and discussed.<p />",
