Show Notes

Victims of stalking are systematically let down. So, how do the police handle reports of stalking? And what does the research tell us about effective intervention?

24-year-old Alice Ruggles was stalked and murdered by her ex-boyfriend. Alice did all the recommended things, including reporting his dangerous behaviour to the police multiple times. Unfortunately, Alice's story is not a one-off. It's a typical story illustrating the link between coercive control and stalking. 

Join host Kathryn Fox for part 2 of her discussion with forensic psychologist, Professor Troy McEwan from Swinburne University. 

This episode is part 2 of 2.
