Evaluation of the Drive Intervention for High-Harm Domestic Abuse Perpetrators in England and Wales Using a Quasi-Experimental Approach
High-risk and high-harm domestic abuse perpetrators pose the greatest risk of serious harm to (ex-)partners and family members. Robust evidence of perpetrator intervention is lacking for this group. The Drive perpetrator intervention in the United Kingdom focuses specifically on high-harm perpetrators to reduce abuse and increase safety of victims, using individual case management via support and disruption, co-ordinated multi-agency response and…
A Systematic Review of the Quality of Perpetrator Programs’ Outcome Studies
This systematic review assessed whether studies on the outcomes of perpetrator programs comply with the model recommendations for outcome evaluation. Three databases (PsycINFO, Medline, and Scopus) were used to identify perpetrator program outcome studies from 1988 to 2021. The inclusion criteria were as follows: empirical studies with no time restriction; published in English or Spanish; evaluated interventions aimed at male perpetrators of any …
Methodological Challenges in Group-based Randomised Controlled Trials for Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators
Evidence for treatment effects of group-based Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) perpetrators programmes remains, at best, inconclusive. In the present review, systematic/meta-analytic reviews were used to identify randomised controlled trials and a meta-summary approach was employed to identify methodological challenges in the design and conduct of these trials. Of the fifteen studies identified, seven were comparative effectiveness trials. A range…
Developing and Testing New Domestic Abuse Questions and Approach for the Crime Survey for England and Wales
Previous research highlighted that a fundamental rethink of the measurement of domestic abuse was needed in the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). The research reported here aimed to develop and test new questions on domestic abuse for the CSEW to improve the headline prevalence measure, including frequency of abuse, to develop a way of measuring controlling or coercive behavior within the overall prevalence measure, and to develop a meas…
The Use of Chemical Control Within Coercive Controlling Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse
This paper explores the use of chemical control by perpetrators as part of coercive controlling intimate partner violence and abuse, defined as the nonconsenting use of prescribed and nonprescribed medication (including vaccines), and/or other substances to coerce or control, reducing the victim-survivor's capacity for independence, freedom, and health. Based on testimonies of 37 victims-survivors and nine domestic abuse practitioners in the UK w…
The Measurement of Domestic Abuse – Redeveloping the Crime Survey for England and Wales
A fundamental rethink of the current CSEW self-completion module is required, with a wider set of questions about domestic abuse and impact. A revised module should identify and provide estimation of prevalence for different 'abuse profiles' that would complement improved headline measures and better inform policy and practice
What Is Justice? Perspectives of Victims-Survivors of Gender-Based Violence
This article explores “how do victims-survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) experience and perceive justice?” based on interviews with 251 victims-survivors with experience of different types of GBV and criminal, civil, and family justice systems. Victims-survivors were found to have multiple perceptions of justice, related to different points in their journey following abuse and regarding individual, community, and societal responses. Percept…
Measuring the Outcome of Perpetrator Programmes through a Contextualised and Victim-Centred Approach
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health and widespread problem, and perpetrator programmes are in a unique position to prevent it. Research on the outcomes of perpetrator programmes has advanced in recent years, but still some challenges remain. These challenges include the absence of measures related to survivor safety and wellbeing as well as the impact on the victim. Additionally, other contextual measures, such as motivation to cha…
Special issue on the Covid-19 pandemic and gender-based violence
In this Special Issue we publish a series of articles from different disciplines and countries looking at impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on victims and survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), on perpetrator behaviours, on services and institutional responses, as well as wider concerns
UK victim-survivor experiences of intimate partner spiritual abuse and religious coercive control and implications for practice
This study extends existing scholarship on coercive control within an intimate relationship by exploring how some perpetrators use spiritual abuse as part of their control repertoire and how others harness belief and doctrine to exercise a totalising ‘religious coercive control’ over their victims. The analysis in this article draws on two multi-faith datasets: secondary data analysis of 27 semi-structured interviews and primary data collected th…
Evaluating the Impact of Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health and widespread problem, and perpetrator programmes are in a unique position to work towards the end of gender-based violence. However, in order to promote safe perpetrator work, it is crucial to focus on the impact of IPV on the victims and survivors. In this context, little research has triangulated data by including both, victim's perspectives on the impact that IPV has on them and also men's l…
Criminal justice responses to domestic violence and abuse in England
Responding to domestic violence and abuse (DVA) poses significant challenges for the criminal justice system, with recent studies highlighting a number of significant gaps and failings in the nature of the police response in particular. This paper reports on findings from a component of the multi-stage ESRC funded project ‘Justice, Inequality and Gender-Based Violence’ (ESRC grant ES/M010090/1) that relates to 400 reported incidents of DVA involv…
Defining and Enabling ‘Justice’ for Victims/Survivors of Domestic Violence and Abuse
The article is based on a qualitative field study of how justice (in its wider sense) is understood by practitioners and religious leaders from Judaism, Islam and Christianity, who work with victims of domestic violence and abuse. The article focuses on two key questions: a) how do practitioners from the three faith communities conceptualise justice in relation to domestic violence and abuse ( DVA )? b) how far do these practitioners believe that…

The Current Landscape of Prostitution and Sex Work in England and Wales
This paper presents a comprehensive typology of the sex industry based on primary data collected between 2018 and 2019 for a UK Home Office-funded study. Typologies of the contemporary sex industry in England and Wales have tended to be limited to particular sectors or have been developed from a specific disciplinary perspective or theme (e.g. sexual health programming, income). Situated in the context of international sex industry typologies, th…
No longer a civil matter? The design and use of protection orders for domestic violence in England and Wales
This paper assesses the design and use of protection orders for domestic violence in England and Wales. It draws on data from 400 police classified domestic violence incidents and 65 interviews with victims/survivors, as well as new analysis of government justice data from England and Wales, to address a gap in literature on protection orders.The paper identifies an increasing civil-criminal ‘hybridisation’ of protection orders in England and Wal…
What does justice mean to black and minority ethnic (BME) victims/survivors of gender-based violence
This paper addresses how ‘justice’ is understood, sought, and experienced by Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) victims/survivors of Gender Based Violence (GBV) within the UK. The key aims of this paper are to explore (a) experiences of GBV for BME victim/survivors, (b) their experiences and perceptions of justice, and (c) factors enabling, or posing barriers to justice, including immigration status. We situate BME women’s experiences and conceptual…
Rape, inequality and the criminal justice response in England
This article draws upon quantitative and content analysis of 585 reports of rape recorded within two police force areas in England in 2010 and in 2014 tracking individual incidents to eventual outcome to examine the impact, if any, of intersecting inequalities on trajectories of rape cases reported to police. The data were collected as part of the wider Economic and Social Research Council funded Justice, Inequality and Gender-Based Violence rese…

Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on 14 interviews conducted with adult survivors and victims of FGM. A combination of 1:1 and group interviews were used, based on the preference of the respondents. Respondents were recruited in collaboration w…
Coercive Control
This article reviews the background, introduction, and critical response to new criminal offenses of coercive control in England/Wales and Scotland. How the new Scottish offense is implemented will determine whether it can overcome the shortcomings of the English law. We then review new evidence on four dimensions of coercive control: the relationship between "control" and "violence," coercive control in same-sex couples, measuring coercive contr…
The experience of interactional justice for victims of ‘honour’-based violence and abuse reporting to the police in England and Wales
Interactional justice is concerned with how far victims feel (i) respected by justice officials (‘interpersonal justice’) and (ii) informed about the progress of their case and the justice process overall (‘informational justice’) [Laxminarayan, M., Henrichs, J., and Pemberton, A. (2012). Procedural and interactional justice: a comparative study of victims in the Netherlands and New South Wales. European journal of criminology, 9 (3), 260–275; La…
More than support to court
This article explores the involvement of specialist sexual violence services, including Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs), in supporting victims/survivors of rape and sexual abuse to engage with the criminal justice system (CJS) in England and Wales. The underpinning research, conducted in one area of England, included referral data from the police and key specialist sexual violence services, interviews with 15 victims/survivors of sex…

Principles of letter-writing
As part of the sixteenth century's intellectual triumvirate, which included Joseph Scaliger and Isaac Casaubon, Justus Lipsius formulated humanist scholarship aimed ultimately at practical application in both public and personal affairs.Justus Lipsius distinguished himself as student of the classics, first at the Jesuit college at Cologne and then at the university in Leuven (Louvain). 1569, soon after completing his studies, he published precoci…

The Three Planet Model
Despite the development of much positive work by to tackle domestic violence, frustrations are often voiced by social care and other professionals - and echoed in women's and children's experiences - that it can be difficult to ensure and sustain safe outcomes for women and children in circumstances of domestic violence. The article takes as its starting point these frustrations and difficulties, and provides an attempt at understanding some of t…
Violent Men as Good-enough Fathers
In this article, the authors examine the contrary way that policy and practice have tended to operate in both Sweden and England, concerning violence against women on one hand and children on the other. The arrangements made for children's contact with parents after parents have separated or divorced are important with regard to the ongoing safety of women and children who have left violent men. However, fatherhood in the context of separation an…
I Hate the Word “Victim”’
In this article, drawing on interviews with women and men in same sex relationships who have experienced domestic violence, we explore the ways in which recognition of domestic violence can be hampered by public stories about the phenomenon and practices of love. Public stories construct domestic violence as a gendered, heterosexual phenomenon that is predominantly physical in nature. Victims of domestic violence are also constructed as ‘other’, …

Making it through the Criminal Justice System
This article explores the process of attrition, where domestic violence cases fail to make it through the criminal justice system and do not result in criminal conviction. The article draws on the hitherto most detailed study of such attrition in the UK. The research, carried out across the Northumbria Police Force area, explored the quantitative attrition of domestic violence cases, from reporting to the police to final court outcome, contextual…

Feminist epistemology and the politics of method
The paper discusses the development and application of a survey questionnaire for researching domestic violence in same sex relationships. A feminist epistemological approach was used to construct an instrument geared to explore how processes of gendering and power might operate in similar or different ways in abusive lesbian, gay male or heterosexual relationships, while taking into account a range of domestically abusive behaviour, context and …
Future Trends and Developments
In writing this article I was asked to think about future trends and developments in two very different and geographically distant parts of the world Europe and East Asia. Context associated with specific countries and regions related cultural and historical features as well as local events are crucial to understanding how work on violence against women has already developed and if we are to make any predictions for the future. Also of importance…

Researching Domestic Violence in Same-Sex Relationships—A Feminist Epistemological Approach to Survey Development
The article draws on recently completed research by the authors, involving a detailed study of love and intimate partner violence in same-sex and heterosexual relationships (funded by the ESRC, award RES-000-23-0650). The research, hitherto the most detailed study of its kind in the United Kingdom, included a national same-sex community survey (n = 800) plus four focus groups and interviews with 67 individuals identifying as lesbian, gay, queer, …
Forced marriage in the UK
Our paper is based on a qualitative empirical study of forced marriage in the UK and offers a multidimensional view which challenges four key points that are currently central in the forced marriage debate. First, the study explores the problematic of current UK and European Union policies on preventing forced marriage which focus on raising the age of sponsorship and marriage age for non-EU nationals migrating to the UK. Second, current conceptu…
Portrayal of Women as Intimate Partner Domestic Violence Perpetrators
The article explores some of the ways heterosexual women are portrayed as perpetrators of intimate partner domestic violence (IPV) in police domestic violence records in England and is the first study in the United Kingdom to examine the issue of gender and domestic violence perpetrators in any detail and over time. The article is based on a study of 128 IPV cases tracked longitudinally over 6 years, including 32 cases where women were the sole p…

Domestic violence and access arrangements for children in Denmark and Britain
In Britain we are witnessing changes in family law towards a greater focus on children's needs and joint parental responsibility—as embodied in the Children Act 1989. The process of separation and decision-making with regard to children is also relying increasingly on conciliation and mediation in addition to legal procedures. In Denmark some similar changes have been underway, but for longer than in Britain. An issue which does not appear to hav…

"Donne's (Re)Annunciation of the Virgin(ia Colony) in "Elegy XIX
In one of his many witty letters to Mrs. Magdalen Herbert, Donne writes that he has given his letter license to travel. It is therefore, he continues, pinnace to discover, and the entire colony of letters, of hundreds and fifties, must follow; whose employment is more honourable than that which our State meditates to Virginia.. This extended conceit is typical of Donne, of course, even of his prose letters. Also typical of the poet, although not …

Tackling Men's Violence in Families
Nordic countries are generally regarded as global welfare role models. Consequently, the influence of Nordic welfare systems in academic and policy debates has been immense. By focusing on the vital issue of violence by men to female partners and/or their children, this book seeks to reconsider this over-simplistic image.

‘Because she was my first girlfriend, I didn't know any different’
In this paper we present the case for those entering/considering same‐sex relationships to be included in sex and relationship education in schools. The Government's Guidance on Sex and Relationship Education provides a rationale for including same‐sex relationships when it says that schools should meet the needs of all their pupils ‘whatever their developing sexuality’. Research on sex education and domestic violence prevention for schools has h…
