Congrats Jane on the global reach of In Control. By illuminating the 8-stage #homicide timeline, you provide a vital tool to help #women worldwide recognise how predictable the escalation of male violence can be. In Control will help women spot the danger early & may save many lives #MVAWG #femicide

Regelmäßig (wenn ich den Kopf dazu habe) lese ich dieses Buch von @jmoncktonsmith.bsky.social. Und jedes Mal möchte ich in die Welt schreien, wie wichtig es ist - und mir ungefähr jeden zweiten Satz markieren, damit ich ihn ja nicht vergesse.
In Control now available in Dutch as well as Chinese, Turkish and Russian
Madeline Mc Aleer is discussing @jmoncktonsmith.bsky.social’s 8-stage domestic homicide timeline – how a predictable progressive pattern of coercively controlling behaviour can go from #HoneymoonToHomicide. It can happen quickly or take 40 years, and there may or may not be physical violence.
I was privileged to speak this morning in the Senate to a Symposium on Coercive Control. The Delegation for Womens Rights organised a symposium on the concept of coercive control and its judicial application in France. videos.senat.fr/video.517966...

I can’t actually believe this has happened. I met Roann years ago not that long after her mum was murdered. Reading a summary of the story in a news report doesn’t come close to the reality. I thought this govt were serious about MVAWG www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Roann Court shares how scared she feels now her mum’s killer is a free man and heartbreakingly remembers the haunting last words her mum ever said to her

The Homicide Timeline is a framework developed by @jmoncktonsmith.bsky.social to track homicide risk in cases of coercive control, stalking, and the predictable progression from coercively controlling behaviour to domestic homicide. (3/5)
This is good news. Unbelievable that a stalker’s ID could be kept from the victim in the first place. However it doesn’t address the major issue of the police not investigating these crimes properly or at all.

A known dangerous repeat offender. They need to be on a register. All new partners warned through Clare’s Law. This was an 8 stages homicide.
A ‘one off’ public event has been organised in Glasgow on 6th December. Would love to meet anyone there!

This simple statement is an uncomfortable truth. The way victims and the bereaved families of victims are treated needs serious attention. I don’t mean using a ‘sympathetic tone’, I mean listening to them as if their testimony is real.
