Keele University - Keep it out of the family

Researchers are to study what can be done to stop young men becoming perpetrators of domestic violence. The Economic and Social Research Council is to fund a three-year study, led by Keele University psychologist Claire Fox and criminologist David Gadd, in collaboration with Ian Butler, professor of social work at the University of Bath. The project team will provide a "quasi-experimental evaluation" of the Relationships Without Fear Programme currently provided to children in North Staffordshire.
