What are the most effective approaches to measuring and monitoring a public health approach to addressing VAWG?
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.
