Domestic and Sexual Abuse

This section features reports from work we have supported specifically around domestic and sexual abuse and related issues. Reports are shown in order of publication with most recent first.

 

The Project Mirabal research, led by Durham and London Metropolitan universities, suggests domestic violence perpetrator programmes (DVPPs) could play an important role in the quest to end domestic violence. According to the research the vast majority of men who abuse their partners stop their physical and sexual violence if they attend a domestic violence perpetrator programme.
