Not only are they failing to asking survivors if the abuse has decreased (i.e. measuring the actual intended outcome), the cheap option of former perpetrators taking over courses from qualified practitioners seems to be giving abusers a cosy mens' group rather than changing behaviour.
At least half of the women & non-binary victim-survivors in Backbone Collective's survey reported abuse had not only continued but *got worse* during & after the person abusing them attended the Stopping-Violence programme.
