About the Policing Domestic Abuse Research Network

Building on the success of the N8 Policing Research Partnership’s knowledge exchange initiative for police practitioners and academics working to end domestic abuse, we have recently formed the Policing Domestic Abuse Research Network (PDARN). Dr Kelly Johnson and Professor Nicole Westmarland ,from the Centre for Research into Violence and Abuse at Durham University, are currently operating as the co-ordinators of the network.

PDARN is an international network for police practitioners and academic researchers interested in the area of police responses to domestic abuse (/family violence/domestic violence/battery). 

The aims of the network are to:

• Be a supportive network for policing practitioners and academic researchers, to connect and discuss arising issues related to the policing of domestic abuse.
• Provide a space through which network members can exchange knowledge, for example by sharing information about upcoming events, research, or emerging policy and practice.
• Generate opportunities for collaboration across different international jurisdictions
• Ultimately, to improve understanding and practice in the area of policing domestic abuse
