Extraordinary writing exploding the myths around ‘Crimes of Passion’. I think I should provide my daughter with a copy. In fact it should be on the school curriculum. This is my number one read of the year. ( ) A sobering book, Professor Monckton-Smith's research is reminiscent of the developing of psychological profiling of serial killers developed by the FBI (as dramatised in Netflix's "Mindhunter"). Her work shows that domestic murder is usually the outcome of a long process of coercive control, not a sudden snap by a "nice guy" perpetrator (it's usually, but not always, as she illustrates, a guy). Her eight stage model enables law enforcement, health workers, social workes (and the general public) a way to pick up warning signs long before things escalate to murder, and goes a long way to answering the old question "why doesn't she just leave". A difficult topic well illustrated with research and experience. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Domestic homicide is a pandemic so pervasive that the soaring figures cause weary resignation rather than alarm. For thirty years, Professor Jane Monckton Smith has been fighting to change this. A former police officer and internationally renowned professor of public protection, she lectures on sexualised and fatal violence; works with families bereaved through homicide: and trains police and other professionals on how to best handle cases involving coercive control, domestic abuse, and stalking. Killers do not snap and lose control Her ground-breaking research led to the creation of the eight-stage homicide timeline, laying out identifiable stages in which coercive relationships can escalate to murder and revolutionising our understanding of them. There are signs, if you know how to see them In this book, Monckton Smith shares a glimpse into a world of toxic masculinity and coercive control, one in which the tools are shame and fear, helped along by a media and justice system who are far from shedding sexist notions of men and women's roles in society. Drawing on disciplines including psychology, sociology and law, she talks to victims, their families, and killers, putting together pieces to the puzzle of how these relationships can end in murder, and bringing to light the reasons why - for so many of us - there is no such thing as the safety of one's own home.
