N2  - The majority of prior literature examining factors related to domestic violence treatment completion has used samples of male offenders only. This study identifies specific offender demographics, risk/protective factors, and treatment-relevant variables that are related to program treatment completion among a sample of 4,095 male and female domestic violence offenders who were court ordered to attend treatment in Colorado. <br><br>FINDINGS indicate that most of the significant predictors for female offenders were similar to those of male offenders. There were, however, additional predictors for male offenders that did not impact treatment completion for female offenders. Study limitations and implications for policy and practice are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
