Sexual Violence and Domestic Violence Research Network

Description

The Sexual Violence and Domestic Violence Research Network at De Montfort University started out in 2012 as a small collaboration between the Community and Criminal Justice Division and the School of Business and Law. Since that time the network has rapidly expanded to include a wide range of academic staff across the faculties of Arts and Humanities, Technology, Health and Life Sciences and Business and Law, from a variety of subject disciplines, together with professionals in other non-academic organisational roles.

Staff across the network have established a number of strong partnerships with other academics, government bodies, policy makers, statutory, private and voluntary sector professionals and victim/survivor groups as the result of collaborative research and learning development work at local, regional, European and international levels.

A very exiting strength of the network is its cross disciplinary nature, which provides new and innovative ways of creating dialogue, investigating and influencing policy and practice.

The network’s primary objectives are to facilitate and support staff, students, policy makers, external agencies and the public in addressing issues relating to sexual violence and domestic violence and seeks to achieve this via four core areas of activity which are:

• Research and Policy Impact
• Knowledge transfer, including seminar and conference events
• Inter-disciplinary teaching and programme development
• Dissemination and Publication
