Le Centre Muriel McQueen Fergusson pour la recherche sur la violence familiale est le fruit d'une collaboration entre la Fondation Muriel McQueen Fergusson, une fiducie de bienfaisance créée pour aider les victimes de la violence familiale, l'Université du Nouveau-Brunswick, des organismes communautaires et le gouvernement. Les recherches réalisées à ce Centre portent principalement sur la violence faite aux femmes, et plus particulièrement sur les problèmes du milieu rural, la violence dans les fréquentations, les collectivités d'immigrants, les communautés autochtones, la consommation abusive d'alcool et d'autres drogues et le harcèlement sexuel. Les études dans le domaine des mauvais traitements et de la négligence envers les enfants portent spécialement sur la création d'environnements pacifiques dans les écoles, l'amplification de la colère et les enfants placés en famille d'accueil. Dans le domaine de la violence familiale, les chercheurs s'intéressent principalement au rôle des organismes religieux et à la recherche-action participative. 2, record 5, French, - Centre%20Muriel%20McQueen%20Fergusson%20de%20recherche%20sur%20la%20violence%20familiale
