Dear Colleague

We would like to invite you to the inaugural Interdisciplinary Domestic Violence Conference (IDVC) to be held here at De Montfort University on Monday, 16th December 2013.  This conference is intended to explore of the challenges to achieving prevention and protection of domestic violence victims in the legal arena.  It will provide a forum to bring together community professionals, legal practitioners and academics in order to develop a cooperative network to improve communication links between these stakeholders.  This conference is suitable for academics, students, community professionals both statutory and not-for profit sector and the legal sector, both enforcement, practitioner and judiciary.

This event will be an exploration of the extent greater “cooperation and coordination” remains hampered by different discipline expectations and priorities and whether professionals remain on different “planets” (Hester 2005) in their approach to the issue of domestic violence and victim safety; issues of perpetrator accountability, victim dis-engagement and compromises to safety.
