About this listen
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.

Read this book
This is a book that everyone should read. You may not even realise that this is happening to you - or someone close to you. Just to understand what some people go through every day, is unbelievable to most of us.
At last there is an understanding in the authorities that women are not to blame for being abused.
Great work Jane, thank you for all the people you have helped - and will help.
