On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, our guest is Jess Hill, an investigative journalist who has been researching and writing about domestic violence since 2014. We speak with Jess today about her book, newly released in the US “See What You Made Me Do: The Dangers of Domestic Abuse That We Ignore, Explain Away, or Refuse to See” which offers a primer on the gendered nature of violence, the ways in which society enables and excuses male entitlement to power over, and the normalization and erasure of men’s violence against women our media and discourse. Jess and I also delve into a systems approach to confronting and preventing abuse, including examining proposals for criminal justice reform, such as women’s policing, the Highpoint Model, and a justice reinvestment model in Australia.

During our conversation, Jess and I referenced the following resources and topics:

The intersection of domestic abuse and gun violence
Neo-liberalism and the US tendency favoring individualism as a factor in contributing to domestic abuse
The importance of context in identifying "situational couple violence" versus "coercive control" or "intimate partner violence"
PSA from Britain called "Timekeeper" on coercive control against women and children (Scroll to bottom to view and click on upper right to unmute)
