An Enhanced Strategy to End Domestic Violence

 It is about strategy, not programs  It must fit  Outputs are out – give me proof  An educated guess is good enough  Just follow the rules “Everything I know about making a business case, I learned in Social Work 101” To Make a Case

Background Information Presenting problem Formulation Goal Plan To Make a Case

Current Strategy  Current strategies are directed mainly towards women. Assumptions  Assume one size fits all for men – 40% is lower risk Situational Couple Violence  Assume one size fits all for women Strategic Context

The Need  Strategies to end DV must close the current service gaps. The Outcomes  Counselling can reduce the government’s costs related to DV and provide a return on investment. (e.g. EAP) Strategic Context

The Problem  Current Strategies to end DV may not be the most economical and effective.  Must differentiate the violence, support men and respect women’s right to choose. The Impact  The gap in the current strategy may be significantly increasing the indirect social and economic costs. Strategic Context

The Strategic Fit  End DV  Prevent DV before it happens  Reduce spending  Reduce pressures on judicial services  Reduce pressures on Child Welfare  Ensure accessible services to diverse population Closing the service gap with equal and consistent access to counselling aligns well with the Ontario government's current strategic priorities. Strategic Context

ServiceAvg. Salary Hourly Rate as per Avg. Salary Hours/ Case Total Cost Notes Police Services$69,238$ $355 Responding to call, investigation, follow up, recording, court time based on 2 responding officers. Victim Crisis Assistance and Referral Services n/a In most jurisdictions the service is provided by volunteers. The associated costs are minimal and therefore not included in this analysis. Children’s Aid Society$62,606$ $257 All domestic incidents where children are in the home require a report to the Society. Duty Council$84,033$ $108 Note: not all offenders will require duty council as some will have the means to pay. Judge$258,237$ $33 Crown$161,921$ $83 Court Reportern/a$ $6 Court Clerkn/a$ $6 Victim Witness Assistance Program $61,968$ $32 Corrections Officer (Probation and Parole) $50,000$ $231 Initial assessment and monthly contact of.5 hours with offender and victim. VAW Shelter Servicesn/a Since low risk is assumed, it is assumed shelter services are not required. VAW Counseling Servicesn/a Since VAW Counselling may not be accessed for some of these lower risk cases, it is not included in the costs. Partner Assault Program (PAR) n/a $967 Ministry of Attorney General's funding formula for PAR is based on standard amount per participant per group. Total Minimum Direct Service $2,077 Cost of direct service for each case without administration fee. Administration fee of above. $111 10% of total above costs – PAR as administration fees included in total cost of PAR. TOTAL $2,188 For each domestic violence charge and conviction. Cost Analysis – It’s a guess!

 Direct costs of the current intervention - 2,188 per case.  The cost of prevention and early intervention - $1,000 per case. Cost Analysis– It’s a guess!

 The estimated direct cost saving to the province could range between $1.9 and $11.4 million per year.  Ontario DV rates  40% of cases that could benefit (lower risk Situational Couple Violence)  20-80% utilization  50-75% will be successful (OQ45)  Equals best case and worst case scenario Cost Analysis– It’s a guess!

 All other arguments, potential arguments and a rebuttal  All other cost and ethical considerations. Constraints and Considerations Summary and Recommendations  Consistent practices  Think tank  Funding for pilot studies
