Really important and powerful report by the brilliant @AnnaCollinson and Claire Kendall who have worked so hard to bring this story to light
10 years since coercive control became a crime, some police forces are failing to support and protect victims. Caroline says she became a detective in her own abuse case due to police failings. I’ve heard this a lot. She's bravely allowed us to follow her fight for justice...
She had a suitcase full of documents proving her ex-partner's psychological and physical abuse. Photos of injuries. Text messages. A 32 page chronology. She shared it with officers, but says they repeatedly failed to grasp the seriousness of her case. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
