How effective are local and regional partnerships in Scotland in supporting survivors and disrupting perpetrator activities?
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.
