We identify the causes and correlates of violence, explore risk and protective factors, and then develop ways to manage those. We bring a breadth of experience in research, evaluation, and policy and program design across health, social policy, and criminal justice systems. We have hands-on industry experience working with both perpetrators and victims of violence.
What sets us apart is that we are neither simply theoretical, nor focussed only on practice. Our expertise balances academic understanding with significant time developing and applying violence prevention initiatives in the social and criminal justice fields. Our learnings are practical and make a difference.
Our personnel are highly skilled and have decades of experience across the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.
We work with you to share our knowledge in ways that meet your unique needs. We tailor our work to your organisation and your people. We help you make sense of what’s happening around you, so that you can prevent violence too.

We combine deep knowledge of the latest research into violence prevention with hands-on experience in the real world.
We are well-versed in all aspects of violence, its prevention, and the various factors which can raise the risk of it occurring. Some are obvious, such as drugs, alcohol, and personal history. Less recognised risks include the stability, culture, governance, and gender balance within a community, and environmental design.
By identifying risk and protective factors relevant to your organisation, we can assess the challenges you face. We develop preventive measures to match your specific circumstances.
As a boutique consulting organisation, we respond promptly, flexibly, and with 100 percent attention to your needs.
