When violence leaves no bruise, is it even violence? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week in England and Wales, the Home Office published new statutory guidance for Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews, the process previously known as Domestic Homicide Reviews. The change sounds bureaucratic, but it reflects something much more significant. A death related to domestic abuse does not necessarily follow a final murderous assault. It may be a suicide after months or years of coercive control, emotional abuse or economic abuse. By the time somebody dies, the violence may have b
Freedom should mean having a future you can actually choose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the aftermath of the attacks of 11 September 2001, George W.
