How is domestic abuse and the justice system experienced by victims with protected characteristics, marginalised groups and/or those experiencing intersectional multiple disadvantage? What are the implications of this for expanded understandings of domestic abuse, policy development, legislation and service delivery?
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.
