Hoe kan de wetenschap verklaren waarom er niet werd ingegrepen bij #DWDD? Marie Rosenkrantz Lindegaard van UvA Maatschappij & Gedrag vertelt over o.a. het omstanderseffect in #atlastv

As one of the PhD fellows on this project, I could not recommend this position enough. Really interesting research with practical relevance👇🏼

Just out in Journal of Interpersonal Violence (w/ @v_eichelsheim, Don Weenink & Marie Rosenkrantz Lindegaard)! Relying on case file data, we analyze why bystanders report IPV to a domestic violence agency in the Netherlands. 1/4 journals.sagepub.com/eprint/KHWMEG5…

Results indicate that bystanders report when there is a clear need of help, centering the well-being of victim(s). Reporting is often part of a continuum of actions, is often done as a last resort and tends to impact the bystander emotionally. 2/4

Further, we see some differences between intimate terrorism (IT) and situational couple violence (SCV). In IT, concerns related to the well-being of the woman (sometimes including fear for lethal abuse), whereas in SCV the involvement of children appeared to be crucial. 3/4

Future research on bystanders’ perspectives and experiences is crucial to identify the barriers they experience and how their needs could potentially be supported in combating domestic violence. 4/4

In samenwerking met FondsSlachtofferhulp starten volgende maand Carlijn van Baak en @v_eichelsheim met een verdiepend onderzoek naar de signalen van kindermishandeling ten behoeve van onderwijsprofessionals. Lees meer op nscr.nl/start-onderzoe… #kindermishandeling #onderzoek
