Welcome to the RISE Research Group
Responses to Intimate violence and Systems Experiences
At RISE, our research focuses on investigating gender-based and family violence and subsequent system response and revictimization. We examine how violence and system responses (e.g., child welfare, legal) interact to shape revictimization risk.
Our research approach: We are community engaged research group. We value research that can inform policy and practice while also advancing our scientific understanding of gender-based and family violence. As such, we seek to build partnerships with community stakeholders who directly work with survivors, and together develop research questions. In this way, our hope is to produce findings that can help answer practical questions and inform sustainable and applicable recommendations.
