Violence Prevention

Address the Underlying Drivers of Recidivism

Violent behavior can create significant challenges for agencies responsible for supporting successful reentry and community supervision. GEO Reentry Services provides specialized violence prevention programming that addresses the behaviors, thought patterns, and influences commonly associated with domestic violence, chronic anger, and gang involvement.

Specialized Services for High-Risk Behaviors

Violence prevention is not a one-size-fits-all intervention. GEO Reentry offers structured programming tailored to specific risk factors:

  • Batterers’ Intervention Programs (BIP) help participants examine beliefs and behaviors associated with power, control, and intimate partner violence.
  • Anger Management Services focus on identifying triggers, improving emotional regulation, and developing healthier responses to conflict.
  • Gang Intervention & Disengagement Services help participants separate from gang involvement through mentorship, community support, and structured intervention strategies.

Reinforce Accountability Through Structured Intervention

Addressing violent behavior requires more than supervision alone. GEO Reentry integrates violence prevention programming with case management, counseling, behavioral health support, and community-based resources that reinforce accountability and encourage positive decision-making.

Connect Violence Prevention to Broader Reentry Goals

Violence prevention services work best when combined with stable housing, employment opportunities, behavioral health services, and community support. GEO Reentry helps agencies connect participants to these resources while reinforcing the skills needed to reduce conflict, improve relationships, and successfully reintegrate into the community.

Align Violence Prevention Services with Program Goals

Every population presents different risks, needs, and challenges. GEO Reentry works with agencies to assess where violence prevention services may fit within a broader reentry strategy and identify interventions that support participant success, behavioral change, and community reintegration.
