Domestic violence judgement
4BC Mornings: After discussing the Nigella Lawson "choking" picture that made worldwide news over the the weekend, Greg received a huge response from listeners dealing with domestic violence in their personal lives.
Professor Heather Douglas from the University of Queensland Law School is one of the country's leading experts in domestic abuse and joins Greg Cary to discuss how dangerous it can be for victims to leave a violent relationship. Professor Douglas says a high percentage of women who leave dangerous relationships are often killed shortly after and have very few people outside of the relationship to turn to, as a result of isolation and manipulative control.
The question of intervening when you witness domestic violence in public is also raised, after the Chief Executive of domestic abuse charity Women's Aid Polly Neate stated that third parties should never seek to intervene if they happen to witness a violent incident between a couple for fear of prompting further violence. Professor Douglas agrees to some extent with this perspective but says it depends on individual circumstances.
Listen in to this fascinating conversation.
