Call For Papers: Third European Conference on Domestic Violence

The Third European Conference on Domestic Violence will be held in Oslo September 1-4, 2019.  The deadline for abstracts is February 1.   

The conference is organized by the Norwegian Social Research at Oslo Metropolitan University and the Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies.  The conference encourages exploration of current and critical issues in domestic violence. ” 

“Currently, we experience diverging and contradictory policy developments. New legislation and innovative approaches to combat domestic violence have been introduced across Europe. However, in some parts of Europe, violence against women and children is decriminalized or considered justified under certain conditions. Domestic violence largely continues to be neglected as a major political issue and expenditure cuts threaten effective responses. Migration and globalization pose challenges for governments and civil society engaged in the prevention and elimination of violence. New technologies produce new vulnerabilities as well as possibilities for tracking and identifying perpetrators.  The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers, academics, students, professionals, practitioners, and policy-makers from Europe and further afield to share and build new perspectives on these and related issues. “

Specifically, the conference will address 1. Understanding Domestic Violence 2. Preventions and Interventions and 3. Policy.
