The challenges and opportunities of using experimental approaches to inform VAWG policy in the UK
Thu, September 12, 2:30 to 3:45pm, Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, Floor: Ground floor, Amphitheater 4 „Vintilă Dongoroz”Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel
Abstract
Tackling violence against women and girls, in many countries, is now designated a priority policy area and acknowledged as an important strand in policy and practice to reduce violent crime. The move closer to mainstream criminological research and policy along with increasing financial investments to reduce it, has led to demands for larger scale ‘gold standard’ evidence to guide future policy, practice and investments. This is a challenge to criminologists specialising in violence against women and girls research who have tended to focus mainly on smaller scale studies using qualitative or mixed method approaches. In this paper we discuss a new programme of work in the UK and how we might merge what we know about doing research on violence against women and girls with providing high quality evidence based on larger scale trials to shape policing policy and practice.
