Description

Violence in intimate relationships, and in particular in parent-child and intimate partner relationships, is a huge social problem in our societies, with high costs at the individual, family and societal levels. Violence in intimate relationships affects large numbers of people throughout their life cycle, constitutes the majority of violence acts committed in our societies and remains a fundamental public health and human rights issue. Although significant progress has been made in recent decades in the recognition and understanding of this social problem, there are still many questions, challenges and controversies that arise for a better understanding and prevention of such a complex and multifaceted problem.

Research on the various types of violence in intimate relationships has traditionally been kept separate with little interconnection between the different lines of work. However, there is a growing recognition that different types of intimate partner violence share common ground, and that there may be an overlap in the processes, patterns, causes, risk factors and interventions in different types of intimate partner violence, and that an integrating and multifaceted approach to the study of this social problem is increasingly necessary. This research group proposes precisely an integrative approach to the violence investigation in intimate relationships. Through the combined efforts of a group of researchers from the Universitat de València with a solid and recognised career, and a group of national and international collaborators, an integrating strategy articulated around four lines of research is proposed.

Goals CT
  • Multidimensional, multifaceted and multi-method approach to the investigation of family and gender-based violence. This approach will make it possible to analyse various dimensions and aspects of the problem, as well as to introduce a research strategy that simultaneously uses various methodologies in the analysis of similar processes.
  • Development of advanced evaluation strategies that allow for a better understanding and analysis of family and gender-based violence.
  • Analysis of the geography of family and gender-based violence and its correlates from a Bayesian spatial-temporal epidemiological perspective.
  • Evaluation of new tools' effectiveness for intervention and prevention of family and gender-based violence.
