Researchers, including the Centre for Health and Justice director Professor Eddie Kane, have published their findings on an intervention to reduce domestic violence and abuse (DVA).

The intervention, Cautioning and Relationship Abuse (CARA), is an awareness-raising program that promotes behaviour change for male and female individuals who are first-time DVA offenders. The intervention comprises two five-hour workshops that offenders attend as the core conditions of the Caution. 

The research team found that CARA not-only reduced re-offending, but its economic benefit is also considerable saving between £2.75 and £11.1 for every pound spent.
