than tearing point project is the two you compared to research project funded by a

0:00:07

grant from the economic social research council and the department for intention development of the

0:00:11

u k

0:00:13

it's a project which looks at than violence and four cities across the world giovanni

0:00:17

sat is a member of the pan a research t

0:00:22

you donnie practical explain first of all why partner was chosen as a case study

0:00:26

for the other different what project

0:00:29

apart from very high poverty indicators but not presented a very different keys as far

0:00:34

as winds levels of concern because after two thousand five the vines levels particularly violent

0:00:40

crime doubles jot quite steady and this and an associated with this but not routed

0:00:44

to the a change of political regime

0:00:47

and the steps that were taken by the current government to tackle crime

0:00:51

including you know increasing the presence of the police and the part of the pulleys

0:00:55

banning downlink that on which a lot of i don't sometimes organized as that is

0:00:59

fast track coats

0:01:01

so this presented a counter factual case for the open to pinpoint project where binds

0:01:06

to back to conflict optimal policy perspective and of it either that was quite interesting

0:01:12

could you tell us a little bit how you went about doing the research in

0:01:15

this city

0:01:16

so we chose for word based on the social economic indicators of two thousand one

0:01:22

senses and we conducted we combine qualitative and quantitative research methods so we the bench

0:01:29

two d slums and conducted focus group discussions in interviews but they just look with

0:01:33

stakeholders

0:01:34

and then at the in the second level we conducted a still be among all

0:01:38

the household in the slums

0:01:40

what was the most interesting finding of the research carried out in the city

0:01:45

okay so one of the most interesting find that came out during a focus group

0:01:49

discussions and interviews

0:01:51

was a how the current government has own liberalise a set of alcohol and this

0:01:56

has led to a lot of for alcohol shop so the mushroomed all over the

0:02:01

city

0:02:03

and this is basically been done by the government to generate revenue

0:02:07

so

0:02:08

while gambling with bandages pretty rampant during or the nineteen nineties under the previous government

0:02:14

there has been by and

0:02:16

and alcohol theism the paralysed you know to generate revenue

0:02:21

on the basis that when we went and conducted a focus group discussions a lot

0:02:26

of women parts of an attribute this legalise and we realization of alcohol

0:02:32

as directly associated with a domestic buttons

0:02:35

so in slums in the in a focus group discussions

0:02:39

we

0:02:41

the sense that we got wasn't the domestic violence as increased a lot up to

0:02:44

two thousand and five by which can be associated with the increase in alcohol chops

0:02:49

which in turn is associated the policy level of the to realization of a consequence

0:02:55

what kind of policy recommendations would you have on the basis of this research

0:03:00

be visited a lot of twenty stations as well in other words concern

0:03:06

and are considering that domestic violence as increase quite a lot of pitch set two

0:03:10

thousand and five we did not see a women's unit which is supposed to be

0:03:14

the in woody stations we did not see that the local level at all they

0:03:18

didn't mention that there was a women's set and one the mean only stations in

0:03:21

the city

0:03:22

but that really was not helpful of the local level so one of the policy

0:03:26

recommendations that we would probably make would be to have a women's unit in the

0:03:31

only station and the sensitised the police

0:03:34

procedures to due to the men's issues especially domestically
