Identifying, Investigating & Prosecuting Domestic Violence Strangulation Cases
Foyle Women's Aid
Cost:
£75 per person
Strangulation has been identified as one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence and sexual assault: unconsciousness may occur within seconds and death within minutes. When domestic violence perpetrators choke (strangle) their victims, especially to the point of unconsciousness, it is not only a crime, but it may be an attempted homicide. Strangulation is an ultimate form of power and control that can have a devastating psychological effect on victims. The inability to breathe is one of the most terrifying events a person can endure.
Gael Strack, J.D. Strangulation Institute San Diego, is a leading expert in the field of non-fatal strangulation and suffocation assaults in intimate partner violence cases, who will share her expertise and cover the following:
- Findings from a study of 300 misdemeanour strangulation cases
- Understanding the lethality of strangulation
- Link to other crimes, police shootings and mass murders
- Identifying the signs and symptoms of strangulation cases
- Anatomy and medical aspects in surviving and non-surviving victims
- Investigating and documenting Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Strangulation cases
