Tackling violence against racially minoritised women and girls

该项目建立在我们以前对暴力侵害妇女和女孩的特殊形式以及警察对这种暴力行为的反应的研究基础上，并将收集关于对种族少数群体妇女和女孩实施的这种暴力行为的警务工作的新证据。它将与英格兰的三个警察部队建立新的伙伴关系并巩固现有的伙伴关系，以实现以下关键目标：（a）记录种族少数群体社区内报告对妇女和女童的暴力行为的现有模式;（B）确定新出现的治安挑战和与支持种族少数群体对妇女和女童的暴力行为受害者/幸存者有关的最佳做法;加强警方的调查技术、保护对策和多机构合作，以更有效地支持对妇女和女童的暴力行为的种族少数群体受害者/幸存者，并防止今后发生此类暴力行为。我们将通过知识交流活动、培训和最佳做法指导来设计和传播这项研究的成果，以便为一线警官和警务政策提供信息，从而实现这些目标。我们的项目将在一系列领域推进警务知识的现状，包括对妇女和女童的暴力行为的特定形式;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;种族少数群体妇女和女童撤回受害者支持的背景和动态;以及解决对妇女和女童的暴力行为和/或与种族少数群体合作的最有效的警务技术/方法。通过这样做，该项目将改善英格兰及其他地区暴力和虐待的种族少数群体（潜在）受害者/幸存者的结果。它还将促进关于在性别和种族交叉点维持治安以及维持治安做法/政策的学术辩论。

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.
