Very interesting article on domestic abuse in the Family Law Journal recently, written by our very own Christina Warner.

A copy of this article can be found here, with a summary by Lexis Nexis below:

“Approximately, 16 million people in the UK have a disability, representing 24% of the total population. According to the Office of National Statistics, disabled victims are twice as likely to become victims than their able-bodied counterparts; with one in seven reporting abuse in contrast to 1 in 20 non-disabled people. Christina Warner looks at the targeted forms of domestic abuse and intimate partner violence against disabled victims, the family courts’ approach and how the issue can be tackled on a boarder scale.”
