This study examines court records of 244 defendants assigned to court-connected treatment to determine whether “defendant-initiated diversion” offenders recidivated less than defendants who were mandated by the court to undergo treatment. The study population consisted of 140 defendants who voluntarily opted to participate in a domestic violence (DV) court diversion program and 104 convicted offenders who were ordered by the court to complete treatment as part of their sentence of probation. Defendants who had prior felony or DV convictions were not accepted into the diversion program. A logit model analysis revealed a statistically significant negative relationship between diversion completion and DV recidivism during the 24 months after treatment completion or case closure. These results illustrate the importance of including defendant-initiated diversion for low risk offenders as part of a court system strategy to address DV.
