This interdisciplinary research, spanning the social and medical sciences, provided many new insights, particularly the great extent to which violence resulting in NHS treatment is not reported to the police and the substantial mental health impact on victims - post traumatic disorder and other conditions. These discoveries were published in medical and social science journals and I summarised implications for clinical services and violence prevention in a series of 10 BMJ and Lancet editorials which have helped inform my research and innovation since then.
