It is an innovative three-year study that commenced in May 2019. The Principal Investigator is Professor Khatidja Chantler, based at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Learning Together:
Existing literature on domestic homicide, Domestic Homicide Reviews and interviews with family members who have lost someone to domestic homicide and survivors of domestic abuse will help us learn from these events to improve service responses to domestic abuse.
