Current research projects
Your participation and contribution is greatly appreciated
"MEN your country needs you!" Mandy Stidard - currently completing my final year of an MSc Criminology & Criminal Psychology degree at the University of Portsmouth.
www.malesurvey.info is a national survey about men's sexual experiences and beliefs for males over 16 year’s old living in the UK. Completion takes less than 5 minutes, all answers are confidential and anonymous and no IP addresses are stored. This is an important academic research project which hopes to improve the quality of men’s lives.
Existing research suggests that public myths about male rape discourages survivors from reporting the incident, increases self blame and further hinders a survivor’s ability to recover. Increased knowledge of these perceptions is therefore an important element in hoping to educate the public as to the true nature of this crime.
Framing Sexual Abuse across the Life Course - This research is being undertaken by Debra Allnock as part of Phd in Policy studies at University of Bristol, supported and funded by NSPCC.
Did you experience sexual abuse in childhood? Were you born between 1951 – 1981? Do you live in London? I am interested in hearing from men and women who fulfil these criteria. The research involves a full in-depth interview and life history calendar. All your information will remain confidential and secure.

Past Research Projects
Roisin Murphy - Brunel University. "Understanding help seeking behaviours in male survivors of partner abuse". This study is interested in how males cope with the abuse, and what facilitates or prevents them seeking help. The study is open, to all males over the age of 18, who have suffered some form of partner abuse. This study is now closed and Roisin is writing up her dissertation.
NatCen- Research with survivors: views on sentencing of sexual offences.
NatCen is carried out research with survivors of sexual offences on behalf of the Sentencing council. The Sentencing Council provide guidance for Judges in England and Wales when they consider the appropriate sentence for an offence. The Sentencing Council have commissioned this research so that the views and experiences of survivors can be better understood. The sentencing guidance for sexual offences is due for review and this research is designed to feed into that process. NatCen is a not for profit independent social research institute.
The data collection for this research ended August 2011 but you can find out more about NatCen on our website.
Tara O'Neill: University of Ulster - A study of adversity, beliefs and resilience for survivors of sexual trauma.
The purpose of this study will be to investigate the effects of a broad range of traumatic events on later adult well-being. The research aims to promote the needs and interests of individual survivors and to improve service provision and responses to sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse.
This project closed August 2011 and we are awaiting the outcome of the study.
