Abstrakt: From the perception of workers directly responsible for service delivery, this study examined strengths and weaknesses of the domestic violence prevention system in Singapore and respondents' own training needs. Recommendations included the evaluation of current offender treatment programmes, improved co-ordination with education, police and housing bodies, and the need for specialised training programmes for those working with adult and child victims and offenders.
