Join us on September 30, 2024, from 10:00 am to noon EST, to learn how the criminalization of coercive control in the UK has impacted policy, practice, and service delivery.
Speaker: DR. AMANDA ROBINSON
Professor Amanda Robinson, Professor of Criminology at Cardiff University, UK; Co-Director of the Security, Crime and Intelligence Innovation Institute; and Director of the Universities’ Police Science Institute. She was directly involved in shaping the Welsh Government's White Paper proposals that led to the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015. Dr. Robinson’s research includes a strong policy focus, aiming to advance knowledge about how the police and criminal justice system, health and community-based agencies can best respond to violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence. In particular, Dr. Robinson has published on police practitioner understandings of coercive control offences in the UK, on culturally appropriate responses to IPV, and victim experiences of justice.
