Domestic abuse : even the judges are getting it wrong

Dubrow-Marshall, LJ; Dubrow-Marshall, R

Abstract

A judge in a recent court case involving domestic abuse stated that the victim of abuse had not been vulnerable because of her university education and circle of supportive friends. The authors comment on the nature of coercive control, and the lack of understanding about the universal vulnerability to domestic abuse, which is not mitigated by education or social support.
