Dr Patrizia Pezzoli is a LEPÅ alumna, currently a lecturer (assistant professor) at University College London (UCL), London, UK.
Dr Pezzoli’s research mainly focuses on the risk factors associated with interpersonal violence, considering both the perspectives of victims and perpetrators. With this work, she aims to understand why some people are more likely than others to experience and/or to perpetrate violence, how cycles of violence can emerge and persist over time, and how we may go about interrupting them.
