Perpetration research focuses on understanding and studying individuals who commit harmful or violent acts, such as criminal behaviors, aggression, or abuse. This area of research seeks to identify the factors and dynamics that contribute to these actions, as well as potential interventions and prevention strategies. Perpetration research may involve studying various populations, such as perpetrators of intimate partner violence, sexual offenders, or individuals involved in gang activity. By examining the motivations, risk factors, and patterns of behavior associated with perpetration, researchers aim to develop effective strategies for reducing and addressing harmful behaviors in society.
