A Critical Exploration of the Divergence of HBA Characteristics Across Geographical Origins

Savera UK’s fourth research paper, in partnership with the University of Liverpool, has been published in the Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling.

The research, ‘A Critical Exploration of the Divergence of ‘Honour’-Based Abuse Characteristics Across Geographical Origins’ (Ritchie, Rebecca, Almond, Louise, Qassim, Afrah, McManus, Michelle and Chantler, Khatidja. 2026) aimed to obtain base rate information on survivors’ geographical origin and determine if characteristics of ‘honour’-based abuse (HBA) are significantly associated with the geographical origin of survivors.
