Publisher's summary

Bloomsbury presents In Control by Jane Monckton-Smith, read by Gabrielle Glaister.

Groundbreaking' OBSERVER
'Blows assumptions about abusive relationships out of the water' CAITLIN MORAN
'Offers a strategy for intervention that would save lives' INDEPENDENT

Every four days in the UK, a woman is killed by her partner or ex-partner – and in the past year, domestic abuse has become an epidemic.

For thirty years, Jane Monckton Smith has been fighting to change this. A former police officer and internationally renowned professor of public protection, she has developed her ground-breaking research into an eight-stage homicide timeline, laying out identifiable stages in which coercive relationships can escalate to violence and murder.

Drawing on disciplines including psychology, sociology and law, Monckton Smith talks to victims, their families and killers to piece together the hows and whys of abuse – while shining a searching light onto the society and media that allow it to thrive.

Dangerous Liaisons

This is a pretty good description of authoritarian bullies who feel justified in murdering their partners. Such abusers - nearly always men - generally reveal themselves early on in the relationship, but in the flush of new "love", the signs go unrecognized, the warnings unheeded.

Narration is fine.
