Our research
Violence is deeply complex. There is no single cause, which is why we aim to minimise risk factors at all levels.
Our focus on stopping violence from happening is centred on and approach that is rooted in prevention and early intervention, and investing in positive opportunities for young people, families and communities.
We use evidence, insight, data and intelligence to build on what works in reducing and preventing violence across each of our priority areas.
