Domestic abuse: Killers 'follow eight-stage pattern', study says www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49481998

I'm so pleased to see that Dr Monckton Smith used Karen Ingala Smith's Counting Dead Women page as a source (i.e. biological males murdering biological females), and that police seem to be taking her findings seriously.

Thats an excellent article, I wish they'd included pregnancy and birth as triggers.

Am sharing this - very useful information (sadly).

Vinosaurus · 28/08/2019 09:50

Yes TheInebriati (like the name 😊) - I'm hoping the full report, which I haven't read, goes into more detail such as triggers.

This would be great:

She also said there should be more research into ways in which victims can leave controlling relationships safely, and into what causes people to seek control in intimate relationships.

Here is the full report

Are you sure ? - it appears to be series of power point screens

This appears to be the full report, linked in the BBC news article:

Thanks katmarie!

Apologies all, was on the hoof.

Thanks for the links. The PP slides set it out very clearly.

What strikes me is that we have all seen or been aware of women experiencing the lower levels of this. I've personally managed staff with partners who have waited outside our workplace to escort them home and seen women terrified when asked to change their off duty.

We need to look out for these women.

We do indeed - friends, colleagues and patients/service users if we work in the public sector. Hopefully this will go some way in making people realise that isolated incidents (which are rarely "isolated" at all) are often part of a bigger picture.

Glad I moved my Amazon Smile charity to Nia (KI-S's charity). It used to be for UN Women's Committee but they've been captured by the TPAs.
