Abstract:

PEACE (People Ending Abuse through Counseling and Education) is very similar to the CHANGE program in Durham County. Both are domestic violence intervention programs for batterers and are designed to stop abusive behavior by training abusers to examine and take responsibility for their actions. State law requires anyone convicted of domestic violence to complete a 26-week abuser treatment program and pay cost. PEACE, a Chatham County program, is held in Siler City.
