The purpose of the Domestic Violence Institute's Battering Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP) is to help batterers, both male and female, understand their actions and how they alone can control their behavior so that they can live without violence. iKan’s purpose of this program to not find excuses for the batterers' behavior or to even try to understand it, but to discuss how this behavior is learned.
