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 University of Huddersfield, told ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ 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.
