FORENSICS: Female perpetrators of domestic violence
Manage episode 440420039 series 2620622
For 20 years, Sheree Spencer subjected her husband to horrific physical, emotional, and financial abuse. Similarly, Jordan Worth controlled, beat, stabbed, starved, and tortured her boyfriend, becoming the first woman in UK history to be convicted of coercive control-related offences.
As society grapples with the overwhelming issue of men's violence against women, our understanding of domestic violence is expanding, and we're uncovering the lesser-known reality of female perpetrators and male victims.
In this episode, Dr. Jenny McKay, a forensic psychologist specializing in the psychology of women who commit interpersonal violence, reveals the nuanced differences and similarities between male and female perpetrators, and what these insights mean for tackling domestic abuse in all its forms.
