Dr Jane Monckton-Smith outlines an important framework to identify coercive control within relationships. Dr Jane Monckton-Smith is Professor of Public Protection at the University of Gloucestershire with a specialism in homicide, coercive control and stalking.

In addition to her academic work she maintains a diverse portfolio of professional and case work. She works with families bereaved through homicide helping them with criminal justice and other processes; she advises homicide review panels, as well as chairing statutory domestic homicide reviews; she advises police on current and cold investigations, and crisis risk assessments; she trains police and other professionals in assessing threat and risk in cases of domestic violence, and recognising and identifying suspicious deaths.

Her most recent book In Control: dangerous relationships and how they end in murder explains her work in creating the ”Homicide Timeline’ that shows how and why homicide risk may be escalating in cases of coercive control and stalking. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
