Cardiff After Dark

Product Information

a b Jeff, Meyer (2010-06-12). "After Dark, Amateur Photographer, June 12, 2010". Amateur Photographer. She is impatient with those who won’t adapt and celebrate diversity, saying she is proud to be a white “British Muslim”. She disagrees with the Salafi Muslim view that Muslims should not take part in Western democracy by voting and is frustrated by non-Muslim friends and acquaintances who turn up with bottles of alcohol or argue about the custom of not celebrating birthdays. Maciej Dakowicz is a Polish photographer and educator currently based in Poland. He holds a PhD in computer science, but abandoned science to focus on photography. He is a member the international street photography collective UP Photographers and an official Fujifilm X-Photographer. His interests are in documentary, travel and street photography. On closer observation, though, Dakowicz's work evades this kind of reductive appraisal. The photographs in this book are loud, the behaviour they show often vulgar. The more you look, though, the more you glimpse a certain collective doggedness in this wild pursuit of pleasure and abandonment, a doggedness that suggests much deeper discontent.

Key Events

In 2017 Cardiff Model data items (Information Standard 1594) were incorporated into the new Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) implemented in every ED in England 37. In a further development, in 2020, a free text field was included in this national dataset to facilitate recording of precise violence locations – a crucially important step which facilitates the highly responsive, targeted prevention which the Cardiff Model delivers. As examples in this report show, collaboration between violence prevention practitioners and researchers with relevant quantitative and qualitative skills can be very helpful. Evaluation interest and research funding is increasingly available – from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in the UK for example. But such collaboration is not essential to local prevention. Fidelity to Cardiff Model principles and practice is key, adapted to local and regional circumstances and flexible enough to evolve as new findings emerge.

First prize, News category, BZ WBK Press Foto, Poland. For photographs of the aftermath of an earthquake in Nepal, 2015. [31] The World Health Organisation first highlighted the Model as an example of good practice in its 2004 report, “Preventing Violence: a guide to implementing the recommendations of the World Report on Violence and Health.” 42Speaking to us in 2006, Maciej said: “It is natural for me to photograph something if I see it. But I’ve never seen anything like this before in my life – it’s like a zoo, it’s mad! Mostly people do not mind having their pictures taken – often they ask to have them taken.

Street Pastors is an initiative of the Ascension Trust and was pioneered in London in 2013. It is now active in 270 towns and cities across the UK.

Photograph: Murdo Macleod/The Guardian The clear role that hospital emergency departments can play in preventing violence is woefully neglected in most parts of the world. But the pioneering work of Jonathan Shepherd and the Cardiff University Violence Research Group described here shows that this does not need to be the case. That is why the WHO Prevention of Violence Unit, alongside other global violence prevention partners such as the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, firmly endorse the Cardiff Model and encourage local and national authorities everywhere to implement it.
