Building on findings from ‘Repeat violence in Scotland: a qualitative approach’, how is repeat violence experienced by hard to reach groups, including within the following communities:
o Disabled people
o People in the LGBTQI+ community
o Racialised/ethnic minority communities, including migrant communities and asylum seekers
o Men who experience domestic abuse and sexual violence
o Those whose experiences are less likely to be captured through official statistics on violent crime and victimisation, including people living in institutions
Background
The Scottish Government’s Vision for Justice aims to address the underlying causes of crime and create a society in which people feel, and are, safer in their communities. As such, Justice Analytical Services have identified the theme ‘Crime, Prevention & Specific Crime Types’ as a research priority. Robust research on crime and its various dimensions as well as prevention strategies will inform work towards these aims.
