Despite persistent levels of violence and abuse, determining effective response strategies continues to be a critical issue demanding cross-disciplinary study spanning social sciences and other fields. Scholars are also actively involved in creating and implementing innovative research methodologies to examine these issues. Our collaborative network includes academic peers, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations, while our events draw significant participation from professionals, policymakers, and individuals with lived experience of violence and abuse.
