THEORY
The final part of the project aims at developing a theory about how risk management strategies are used in cases of intimate partner violence and stalking.
A theory is needed for us to better understand how and why risk and vulnerability factors matter in cases of intimate partner violence and stalking.
Theory development will progress throughout the project and is rooted in the theory about risk, needs and susceptibility.
Previous research lacks focus on the vulnerability of the victim and her ability to implement the proposed measures. Developing that part is therefore an important component for understanding how risk management strategies and their various measures affect the victim.
