None-in-Three

(This grant was awarded in response to a call issued by the EU delegation to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean titled ¡°Towards a Future Free from Domestic Violence¡±)

This project will investigate domestic violence in the countries of Grenada and Barbados and use the data gathered to develop an interactive, role-playing computer game aimed at changing attitudes in potential perpetrators of violence while empowering those at risk of victimisation. Adele Jones, professor of social work at the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Huddersfield, told Times Higher Education that the project was motivated by the ¡°high prevalence of domestic violence¡± in the region. ¡°[It] is investigating the impact of domestic violence on women who may be especially vulnerable, are particularly marginalised, or who may have difficulties in leaving a violent relationship.¡± The groups were chosen ¡°because there is virtually no research in the Caribbean¡± about keeping them safe. The team will also study the views of men and youth from two groups: those convicted of offences who are accessing behaviour change programmes, and those who grew up in violent homes but are not violent.
