at the same time, the Federal Working Group on perpetrator work Domestic violence (BAG) has informed about the challenges in working with perpetrators of domestic violence. According to Roland Hertel, the chairman of the BAG, it is crucial not only to raise perpetrators what they have done wrong, but also offer them social training in order to question their learned behaviors. Home violence is often shaped by learned behavior that aim at control and power. Hertel explained that the program includes at least 25 group sessions in one year to bring the participants closer to non -violent solution strategies.

In addition, both organizations emphasized the importance of prevention.
