Chris Brown Must Take Domestic Violence Prevention Classes

Chris Brown needs domestic violence prevention classes "again", and the judge in the Karrueche Tran case gave him a full year of it.

According to the court, Brown has to complete a 52-week batterer intervention program. The sentence was handed down after Karrueche testified in Thursday's restraining order hearing.

As we reported, the judge also ruled Chris has to stay away from Karrueche for the next 5 years.

He's no stranger to counseling sessions. After his Rihanna conviction, Chris had to attend domestic violence counseling -- and later, when he violated probation in that case, he was forced to attend anger management.

UPDATE: Chris does NOT have to attend a year of counseling. The court tells us there was a clerical error in the documents.
