RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am interested in exploring a fascinating topic; domestic abuse which is nationally hidden within families. I am interested in exploring the impact of domestic violence has on public health, with exploring the underpinned theories: feminist, biological, sociological, and psychological in future research.
Domestic abuse is gripping the nation, due to the devastating public health concerns affected by not only the victims but their families too, causing a rippling effect. The stigma of domestic abuse for male victims can only be tackled with further research, empowering victims to come forward, and educating the nation to ensure when a victim does disclose, it is not dismissed. My interest into this topic peaked following the completion of Violent Societies – Violent Lives: Identifying the Public Health response and Research Methods modules whilst studying at the University of Wolverhampton, where I focused upon male domestic abuse victims.
