This report is the culmination of a four year research study that explores the criminal justice response to women who kill abusive men. Through in-depth interviews with some key practitioners in the criminal justice system, and most crucially with women themselves, our research explores the extent to which the law itself, and the way the law is applied, prevent women accessing justice.
Event:
This research was launched at an online event on 17th February 2021. Speakers included Harriet Wistrich, Sophie Howes, Pragna Patel, Sally Challen, Dame Vera Baird QC, Professor Elizabeth Sheehy and Naz Shah MP.
