0:00:03than tearing point project is the two you compared to research project funded by a
0:00:07grant from the economic social research council and the department for intention development of the
0:00:11u k
0:00:13it's a project which looks at than violence and four cities across the world giovanni
0:00:17sat is a member of the pan a research t
0:00:22you donnie practical explain first of all why partner was chosen as a case study
0:00:26for the other different what project
0:00:29apart from very high poverty indicators but not presented a very different keys as far
0:00:34as winds levels of concern because after two thousand five the vines levels particularly violent
0:00:40crime doubles jot quite steady and this and an associated with this but not routed
0:00:44to the a change of political regime
0:00:47and the steps that were taken by the current government to tackle crime
0:00:51including you know increasing the presence of the police and the part of the pulleys
0:00:55banning downlink that on which a lot of i don't sometimes organized as that is
0:00:59fast track coats
0:01:01so this presented a counter factual case for the open to pinpoint project where binds
0:01:06to back to conflict optimal policy perspective and of it either that was quite interesting
0:01:12could you tell us a little bit how you went about doing the research in
0:01:15this city
0:01:16so we chose for word based on the social economic indicators of two thousand one
0:01:22senses and we conducted we combine qualitative and quantitative research methods so we the bench
0:01:29two d slums and conducted focus group discussions in interviews but they just look with
0:01:33stakeholders
0:01:34and then at the in the second level we conducted a still be among all
0:01:38the household in the slums
0:01:40what was the most interesting finding of the research carried out in the city
0:01:45okay so one of the most interesting find that came out during a focus group
0:01:49discussions and interviews
0:01:51was a how the current government has own liberalise a set of alcohol and this
0:01:56has led to a lot of for alcohol shop so the mushroomed all over the
0:02:01city
0:02:03and this is basically been done by the government to generate revenue
0:02:07so
0:02:08while gambling with bandages pretty rampant during or the nineteen nineties under the previous government
0:02:14there has been by and
0:02:16and alcohol theism the paralysed you know to generate revenue
0:02:21on the basis that when we went and conducted a focus group discussions a lot
0:02:26of women parts of an attribute this legalise and we realization of alcohol
0:02:32as directly associated with a domestic buttons
0:02:35so in slums in the in a focus group discussions
0:02:39we
0:02:41the sense that we got wasn't the domestic violence as increased a lot up to
0:02:44two thousand and five by which can be associated with the increase in alcohol chops
0:02:49which in turn is associated the policy level of the to realization of a consequence
0:02:55what kind of policy recommendations would you have on the basis of this research
0:03:00be visited a lot of twenty stations as well in other words concern
0:03:06and are considering that domestic violence as increase quite a lot of pitch set two
0:03:10thousand and five we did not see a women's unit which is supposed to be
0:03:14the in woody stations we did not see that the local level at all they
0:03:18didn't mention that there was a women's set and one the mean only stations in
0:03:21the city
0:03:22but that really was not helpful of the local level so one of the policy
0:03:26recommendations that we would probably make would be to have a women's unit in the
0:03:31only station and the sensitised the police
0:03:34procedures to due to the men's issues especially domestically
