Department of Justice
The Department of Justice develops, funds, coordinates and directly delivers Family and Domestic Violence Behavior Change Programs across the state at Justice sites. These can be near a court, in a prison or at a Community Corrections Office. These programs can only be referred to by Justice staff and address FDV and criminogenic factors or factors that are amenable to change and if focused on treatment are likely to reduce offending behavior.
