The Positive and Negative Impacts of Researching Emotionally Challenging Topics
Growing evidence shows that conducting potentially emotionally challenging research may affect researchers’ wellbeing. Literature demonstrates that investigating, for example, potentially distressing topics, such as addiction (Kasseri & Tsiolis, 2025 ), sexual violence (Coles et al., 2014 ) or death and suicide (Dickson-Swift et al., 2007 ), or vulnerable populations, such as abused children (Perron & Hiltz, 2006 ) may pose challenges to research…
The role of safety and wellbeing in reporting decisions of sexual violence victim-survivors in England and Wales
This article uses an online survey of 586 victim-survivors to examine how safety and wellbeing shape decisions about reporting sexual violence to the police in England and Wales. Feeling physically and psychologically safe is central to wellbeing, so reporting decisions involved a complex and ongoing negotiation between these considerations. Both reporting and non-reporting were therefore active decisions based on the victim-survivor’s appraisal …
Reframing informal disclosures of sexual violence as ‘an ongoing conversation’
Sexual violence (SV) is more likely to be disclosed to friends, family members and partner(s) (ONS, 2021), though less is known regarding these informal disclosure experiences compared to formal disclosures (for example, to the police). This victim-survivor-led study explored the ways in which victim-survivors of SV disclosed and discussed victimisation with friends, family and partners. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 31 victim-…
Coping with Emotionally Challenging Research
While previous work has highlighted the possible impacts of undertaking emotionally challenging research, it is only recently, particularly within the UK with the 2028 Research Excellence Framework focus on research culture, that this subject is starting to gain senior leadership attention. Funded by the UK Research and Innovation, Researcher England, Enhancing Research Culture fund. We undertook an in-depth study involving researchers across top…
Where do English and Welsh victim-survivors of sexual violence perceive they might gain kaleidoscopic justice
McGlynn and Westmarland in 2019 developed a holistic framework for victim-survivor understandings of justice after sexual violence. The framework, named ‘Kaleidoscopic Justice’, highlighted the importance of six components: consequences, recognition, dignity, voice, prevention, and connectedness. Now, we provide the first examination of whether victim-survivors perceive different support services and the criminal justice system (CJS) as achieving…
The dynamic effects of becoming disabled on work, wages and wellbeing in the UK from 1991 to 2018
Over recent decades it has consistently been shown that disabled adults in the UK fare worse in the labour market and have lower levels of wellbeing than non-disabled adults. However, this is in part due to the selection into dis-ability of those with existing socio-economic disadvantages. In this article, we use panel data from the combined British Household Panel Survey and Understanding Society, covering the 27 years from 1991 to 2018, to dist…
Feminism, power and politics in policing rape research
Over the last 40 years, academics, activists and policymakers have attempted to improve police and criminal justice (CJ) responses to rape, yet attrition in rape cases continues to rise (ONS, 2021). Rape attrition studies have increasingly scrutinised the CJ process, initially in smaller scale, local research (for example, Lees and Gregory, 1993) and more recently through national analysis of the CJ outcomes of police reported cases (for example,…

A study on intersectional discrimination in employment against disabled women in the UK
The present study examined the employment status of disabled and nondisabled men and women in the United Kingdom. Using the 2009–14 Life Opportunities Survey (N = 32,355 observations), the study empirically examined how the intersection of disability and gender affects disabled women and their employment status in the UK. Random effects multinomial and logistic regression models were used. Findings indicated that disabled women were significantly…
The impact of gender and disability on the economic well‐being of disabled women in the United Kingdom
The present study examined the economic well‐being of disabled and nondisabled men and women in the United Kingdom. Using the 2009–2014 Life Opportunities Survey ( N = 6,159 adults), the study is the first longitudinal study to empirically compare the economic well‐being of disabled women in contrast to disabled men and nondisabled men and women. Hierarchical linear modelling and hierarchical linear logistic modelling were used to estimate the lo…
How Rape Myths Are Used and Challenged in Rape and Sexual Assault Trials
Court responses to rape and sexual assault have been repeatedly criticized in England and Wales (Brown et al., 2010). In particular, research has identified prevalent stereotypes about rape in both the criminal justice system and wider society, with these rape myths often being used as the predominant explanation for inadequate victim/survivor treatment (see Temkin and Krahé, 2008). The existing literature, though, tends to rely on interviews or …
Combining Dyslexia and Mothering
Previous studies have provided an insight into the lives of disabled mothers, but little attention has been paid to disabled working mothers. This paper draws on interviews with women who had a formal diagnosis of dyslexia, to discuss: particular difficulties when combining work and mothering; the perceived positive impacts on work and education, of becoming a mother; unsupportive managers; what some mothers found helpful in order to maintain wor…
Culture and motherhood
This article focuses on the possible impacts of Confucianism on the experiences of middle-class East Asian women with dependent children in Britain. By using the concept of ‘intersectionality’, it aims to understand the ways in which mothering identity intersects with class and East Asian cultural identity in the British context, and how identities emerge through this interaction. The study was based on in-depth interview data collected from 20 f…
Observing Court Responses to Victims of Rape and Sexual Assault
Despite years of policy reform in England and Wales, court responses to rape and sexual assault victims remain inadequate. Existing literature often relies on interviews, is outdated by policy, or ignores underlying assumptions. This study therefore observed rape and sexual assault trials, identifying underlying assumptions using critical discourse analysis (CDA). The main themes that arose were routine delays, notions of “rational” behavior, ext…
Women’s perceptions of how their dyslexia impacts on their mothering
Women with children have been depicted as struggling to justify themselves in the shadow of intensive mothering ideology. However, little is said about women who have a disability such as dyslexia, and how disability may intersect with intensive mothering ideology to present additional challenges. In this paper, life-story interviews are drawn upon to start to unpack the ways in which mothering and dyslexia may intersect. The themes discussed inc…
Dyslexia, mothering and work
This paper focuses on the ways in which mothering, work and dyslexia intersect in lived experience. The theoretical framework used to interpret these experiences draws on competing discourses variously imposed on and internalised by the individual; however, it also stresses the ability (however limited) of the individual to reframe and therefore contest how they have been defined. This is illustrated and developed through an autoethnographic case…
Being Shut Out in the Dark”
In Britain in the past 25 years there have been substantial changes in police responses to survivors of rape and sexual assault. Little is known about the impact of these changes on young survivors. In this article, the authors draw on interviews with nine youth aged 14 to 16 who reported a sexual offense to one police service in England. They discuss the degree of choice that young people get from the point of making the decision to report to th…
