Prevention focuses on understanding and addressing the drivers and inhibitors to crime across diverse contexts. Through interdisciplinary research at Leeds and York, we focus on developing a robust evidence base for effective crime prevention to create safer, more resilient communities.
Key focus areas:
- Violence against women and girls and gender-based violence
- Youth crime and violence
- Modern slavery and criminal exploitation
of vulnerable groups - Safer streets and public spaces
