A key highlight was the presentation of research partly funded by the All-Wales Policing Academic Collaboration (AWPAC), which explores misogyny as a risk factor for serious harm in domestic abuse cases. The exhibition provided an opportunity to share insights, foster discussions, and demonstrate the real-world impact of academic research in Wales.
Professor Martina Feilzer said, “Participating in this event was a great opportunity to communicate some hard-hitting research findings to a wider audience, policy makers, other academics, etc. We really appreciate being asked to showcase our research in this way."
She continued: “The AWPAC funding for research on misogyny as a risk factor in serious homicide has been vital in extending Claire’s PhD research across Wales. It has allowed her to strengthen her fieldwork and connect with police representatives from across the country. She has been able to share her important findings with police organisations across Wales, starting the process of strengthening the police’s understanding of how to identify misogyny as a risk factor and with that offering better protection victims of domestic abuse.”
