But sometimes it's hard to be irrepressible.
Read how my daughter's husband abused
her and how the police criminalised her
while she was undergoing cancer treatment.
I have complained to the police and the
politicians about the way she was
treated . You can find my letters

Abstract

The police force maladministration of domestic violence –cases is the likely cause of the escalation and cotinuation of this scourge. The police force is responsible for the corrupttion of the politial agenda and for the frustration of the public demand that policing domestic violence is meant to keep women safe.

There are no statistics to quantify whether misogyny is a motivating factor behind the police incriminating women. We can only measure the outcome of a maladministered process which causes them to suffer added disadvantage when they reach out to the police for help.

Society has given the police ultimate power without commensurate responsibility. This is the recipe for an ungovernable disaster. If the escalation of domestic violence is to be reduced, we need a police force ready, willing and able to comply with the many laws that regulate their policing behaviour. Otherwise there is no alternative other than legislating police accountability and adjudicating this in the courts.
