Скачать или смотреть Tracking and stopping domestic abuse with Jane Monckton Smith | The We Society S7 Ep5

Content Warning: This podcast episode covers themes of domestic abuse, violence against women and domestic homicide.

Around one in four women have experienced domestic abuse, according to the Crime Survey of England and Wales.

But abuse is not usually a one off event, it’s part of a protracted pattern, and by studying the timeline, perhaps this shocking statistic and may change.

Prof Jane Monckton-Smith has dedicated the majority of her career to studying this pattern and is Professor Of Public Protection at the University of Gloucester.

She researched and created the Homicide Timeline, a tool for police officers and criminal justice professionals to understand the pattern of domestic abuse that leads to the murder of a woman. Her argument - Domestic homicide is not a crime of passion.

Now a respected forensic criminologist, Jane started her career on the front line as a police officer.
