Recognising an abusive relationship - Darling Magazine
Knowing that help is available is an important starting point in stopping domestic abuse. A huge problem is that often abusive behaviour doesn't seem to fit tidily into one category of offence and victims are afraid any allegation they make won't result in criminal prosecution.
The Covid-19 pandemic brought into sharp focus how domestic abuse continues to pervade our society, leaving victims isolated and reliant on domestic abuse charities more than ever. Yet countless people continue to suffer behind closed doors as society opens up again.
Russell-Cooke associate Evie Smyth explores in Darling Magazine the signs of an abusive relationship and the legal options available to put an end to it.
Recognising an abusive relationship is free to read on the Darling Magazine website.
