- This edited book reports a research project in four states (Germany, Portugal, Slovenia, UK) funded as part of the HERA programme on Cultural Encounters: Cultural Encounters in Interventions Against Violence (CEINAV). The project analyses policy and practice responses to domestic violence, trafficking and child abuse to minoritised survivors as cultural encounters. Kelly was one of the principal investigators that designed and implemented the project, the lead UK researcher (of a six-person team) and a member of the coordinating group. Her chapters in this volume describe her specific contributions.
Chapter 1 (co-author) provides an overview of the research.
Chapter 2 (lead author) sets out the bespoke methodological approach, establishing common meanings, shared research tools and an analytic framework (her lead responsibility). The goal of relating policy-making and policy outcomes to interventions posed particular challenges in interpreting the meanings-in-practice across the four countries. The team sought to combine analysis of local professional practices with gender violence and child abuse policies, and to explore and define terms such as ‘minorities’ and culture in ways worked within each state.
Chapter 8 (lead author) describes the research findings related to defining ‘culture’ across the four countries, with particular reference to experiences of violence and abuse.
Chapter 10 (co-author) is an analytic examination of how in the UK policy and practice ‘responsibilises’ victim-survivors through risk discourse, drawing on data from day long multi-professional focus groups in England and Wales using the three phased case study which was used across all four countries.
Chapter 16 (co-author) presents the principal outcomes of the study, examining necessary transformations in law and practice if states are to meet their responsibility to protect women and children from violence and abuse through the creation of a transnational ethical framework for intervention.
