Tackling violence against racially minoritised women and girls

该项目建立在我们之前对特定形式的暴力侵害妇女和女童行为（VAWG）以及警察对此类暴力行为的反应的研究基础上，并将收集有关对少数族裔妇女和女童的暴力行为进行监管的新证据。它将与英格兰的三支警察部队建立新的伙伴关系并巩固现有的伙伴关系，以实现以下主要目标：a)记录少数族裔社区内报告妇女暴力的现有模式；b)确定新出现的警务挑战和与支持少数族裔暴力受害者/幸存者相关的最佳做法；c)加强警方的调查技术，保障反应和多机构工作，以更有效地支持少数族裔妇女暴力的受害者/幸存者，并防止今后发生此类暴力。我们会透过知识交流活动、培训和最佳实务指引，设计和传播这项研究的成果，为前线警务人员和警务政策提供资讯，以达致上述目标。我们的项目将推进一系列领域的警务知识状况，包括VAWG的特定形式；特定社区面临的问题和需求，包括任何相关的社会文化背景；关于少数民族妇女和女孩撤回受害者支助的背景和动态；以及解决VAWG和/或与少数族裔社区合作的最有效的警务技术/方法。在此过程中，该项目将改善英格兰及其他地区少数种族（潜在）暴力和虐待受害者/幸存者的结果。它也将有助于学术辩论警务在性别和种族的交叉点，并在警务实践/政策。

This project builds upon our previous research on particular forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG), and on police responses to such violence, and will gather new evidence on the policing of such violence committed against racially minoritised women and girls. It will establish new partnerships and consolidate existing ones with three police forces in England to achieve the following key objectives: a) document existing patterns in the reporting of VAWG within racially minoritised communities; b) identify emerging policing challenges and best practice associated with supporting racially minoritised victims/survivors of VAWG; and c) enhance police investigative techniques, safeguarding responses and multi-agency working to more effectively support racially minoritised victims/survivors of VAWG and to prevent such violence from occurring in future. We will achieve these aims by designing and disseminating outputs from this research through knowledge-exchange activities, training and best practice guidance aimed at informing frontline police officers and policing policy. Our project will advance the state of policing knowledge in a range of domains, including on particular forms of VAWG; on the issues and needs facing specific communities, including any relevant socio-cultural contexts; on the contexts and dynamics of withdrawal of victim support by racially minoritised women and girls; and on the most effective policing techniques/approaches for tackling VAWG and/or working with racially minoritised communities. In doing so, this project will improve outcomes for racially minoritised (potential) victims/survivors of violence and abuse in England and beyond. It will also contribute to academic debates on policing at the intersection of gender and race, and on policing practice/policy.
