ANNOTATION: The use of polygraphy to manage high-risk domestic violence abusers is examined. The following five chapters follow an abstract and executive summary: overview; domestic violence in Dekalb County and the criminal justice response; the study; analyses and outcome for the results and previous efforts to predict batterer recidivism; and study conclusions. It appears that utilizing post-conviction polygraph testing "can assist probation departments to monitor effectively the risky behaviors of probationers who have an elevated risk of continuing criminal behavior and direct high-risk domestic violence probationers to habilitation programs that may reduce the risk of recidivism" (p. 41).
