Reactive aggression poses a significant concern to public health, capable of being prevented.

It is characterised by uncontrolled and exaggerated responses to stimuli, including emotion-driven reactions to perceived threats, also referred to as hostile, impulsive, or angry aggression.
​
​Hence, typically occurs spontaneously, without pre-planned intention, and is often followed by feelings of remorse.

Due to the seriousness and unpredictable nature of reactive aggression, it is claimed that reactive aggressive individuals pose a risk of victimisation for them and those around them, especially in prison settings.

​Moreover, effective interventions can lead to positive outcomes in reducing aggressive behaviours.

Therefore, interventions directed at reactive aggression must be a critical priority in prison settings, as a precondition for successful release and reintegration.

​A Two-Folded Intervention Program
​Utilising VR and E-Learning

​Considering both inmates’ rehabilitation needs (i.e., address reactive aggression-related behaviours) and prison officers’ training requirements (i.e., to better deal with and address inmates’ reactive aggressive behaviours), the VR4React project proposes an innovative two-folded intervention programme solution utilising VR and e-learning as the main tools. The primary objectives of this programme are:

+

[01]                      /////////////////////////////////////

Supporting reactive aggressive inmates in engaging in more prosocial and adaptive behaviours

[02]                      /////////////////////////////////////

Creating a comprehensive training curriculum to equip prison officers with the skills and knowledge necessary to handle and address reactive aggressive behaviours in inmates

THE COMBINATION OF VR TECHNOLOGY AND E-LEARNING IN THIS INTERVENTION PROGRAMME OFFERS A MULTIDIMENSIONAL APPROACH TO ENHANCING REHABILITATION OUTCOMES AND CREATING A SAFER PRISON ENVIRONMENT
