Tags are keywords. I put tags on every post to help you find the content you want. Tags may be people (Dominic Raab, say), organisations (The Howard League, PRT), themes (women offenders, homelessness) or specific items (heroin, racial disparity, ROTL). If you’re looking to research a particular issue, they can be invaluable.
61% women were killed by their current or former partner.
Overkilling, using more force than required to kill someone, was evident in 40% cases where women were murdered by men last year.
Women’s Aid report shows most survivors of domestic abuse do not report abuse to the police and 60% referrals to refuges are rejected because they are full.
