About PDARN
The network builds on the success of the N8 Policing Research Partnership’s Knowledge Exchange Initiative for police practitioners and academics working to end domestic abuse.
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.
