VLGA now hosts the project resources
When the GLOVE project was completed in 2009, the Advisory Committee sought a way to ensure that the knowledge resources of the project were preserved. VLGA offered to host a webpage for the project resources.
You can add new contributions. Simply send them to Linda Bennett at VLGA who will moderate the requests and upload as appropriate.

About the GLOVE project
Chief Investigators: Dr Carolyn Whitzman
Funded by: ARC Linkage Project grant 2006–2009
Partner Organisation: VicHealth – Victorian Health Promotion Foundation
Internationally, research and public policy aiming to reduce violence in the public and private realms is presently disconnected (Moser 2008, Whitzman 2008, Johnson 2007). The
"Gender, Local Governance and Violence Prevention" (GLOVE) research project was a three year Australian Research Council Linkage Project (July 2006-June 2009) between the University of Melbourne and the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth). The project had two aims. First, it was intended to explore the continuing divide in research and public policy between violence prevention in the public and private realms. Second, it was intended to help develop local government policy that can take an integrated approach to violence prevention in both public and private space, acknowledging gender differences in the experience of violence and utilising a community-government partnership model. The action research project was based in the state of Victoria, Australia.
