I am Principal Investigator on 'DewisChoice' 'Transforming the response to domestic abuse in later life . The research involves using participatory action research & ethnographic processes to examine justice mechanisms in the context of domestic violence and abuse

Dewis Choice provides a community designed service to clients experiencing domestic abuse or care-giver stress. The research involves a longitudinal study to explore justice seeking and the lived experiences of people aged 60 years and over who experience abuse by family members.
