Describe the Duluth Model of Preventing Domestic Violence

What will be an ideal response?


The model has developed a Power and Control Wheel to help identify common tactics used and spot abuse as it happens, and help victims and offenders get the help they need before it is too late. Their way of thinking and acting includes: • Taking the blame off the victim and placing the accountability for abuse on the offender. • Shared policies and procedures for holding offenders accountable and keeping victims safe across all agencies in the criminal and civil justice systems from 911to the courts. • Prioritizing the voices and experiences of women who experience battering in the creation of those policies and procedures.
