Economic impact of violence and abuse

Current work:
My current work addresses how victimisation is related to job loss, health and wellbeing. Here, I’m looking at the experiences and effects of violence and abuse, including physical, sexual, emotional abuse, as well as violence/abuse by different types of perpetrators (e.g. intimate partners). Violence and abuse have been shown to incur widespread consequences for wellbeing and health. However, the impacts of violence and abuse on the labour market are often overlooked, which I study in this programme of work.
Being victimised can have severe physical and mental qatar rcs data impacts, but on top of that, this research shows that victim-survivors are at higher risk of losing their employment, further impacting their wellbeing. We are using the Understanding Society survey and Crime Survey for England and Wales to investigate this issue. Our preliminary findings show that violence and abuse contributes to subsequent job loss, indicative of the importance impact on poverty, and deprivation. This is potentially due to the impact on victim’s wellbeing.
It’s not just individual victimisation that affects labour market outcomes, the level of crime and violence in the local environment is also a factor. Preliminary results show that fear of crime and avoidance of public spaces is linked to reduced labour market attachment, meaning people are less likely to enter the labour force and more likely to leave the labour market.
