Sexualised Violence and Abuse Research Lab
We investigate the psychological processes associated with sexualised violence and abuse, and their impact on individuals, and are dedicated to developing tools to help victims and survivors in their recovery. A second focus of the lab is the prevention and treatment of those who have committed offences.
