Reducing Reactive Aggression through Virtual Reality
Although indicators of aggression and conflict in prison are often unreported, essentially because they are often clandestine, easily overlooked or underestimated, evidence suggests that institutional prison factors are significantly associated with levels of misbehaviour, reactive aggression, misconduct and violence.
The VR4React project aims to target reactive aggression within inmates through direct action next to the incarcerated population and staff training. The initiative will support inmates to avoid reactive aggressive conduct, replacing it with pro-social and adaptive behaviours.
In addition, the project will promote an increase in the competence of prison officers to respond effectively to reactive aggressive behaviour among inmates.
In line with this, VR4React is also focused on ensuring that offenders in community settings don’t pose a risk for society and adopt prosocial responses rather than reactive aggressive acts, hence reactive aggressive individuals on probation will also be a target of intervention – this allows to solidify projects’ main action: reduce reactive aggressive acts and promote rehabilitation.
These goals will be achieved through technology – enhanced training programmes, providing an innovative and effective opportunity for learning and training critical skills and behaviours relating to reactive aggression.

Dołączyłem do Platformy w listopadzie 2017 roku. Przez długi czas byłem odpowiedzialny za realizację krajowych i europejskich projektów związanych z bezpieczeństwem. W związku z dynamicznym rozwojem PPBW oraz powstaniem Działu Komunikacji, zająłem się promocją i upowszechnianiem rezultatów naszych działań.
Obecnie koordynuję komunikację projektów finansowanych przez UE z obszaru bezpieczeństwa. Do moich obowiązków należy również zarządzanie kanałami online PPBW oraz wspieranie zespołu w bieżących pracach.
Posiadam szeroki zakres umiejętności, który pozwala mi realizować różnorodne zadania, takie jak tworzenie treści (teksty, zdjęcia, wideo), planowanie strategii komunikacyjnych i procesów, budowanie społeczności i relacji, a także administrowanie platformami online.
I’ve been working at PPHS since November 2017. For a long time, I was responsible for implementing both international and national security projects. As PPHS developed and the Communication Department was established, I was promoted to a role focused entirely on communication.
I currently serve as the Communication & Dissemination Manager for EU-funded security projects. My responsibilities also include managing the online channels run by PPHS and supporting the team with ongoing tasks.
I have a broad set of skills, enabling me to handle a variety of tasks such as content creation (texts, photos, videos), communication and process planning, community and relationship building, as well as managing online platforms.
