In this episode, new Podcast Co-Editor Chen discusses Section 5 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004 with Dr. Sarah Singh, researcher and lecturer at the University of Liverpool Law School. They will discuss problematic implications of this legislative provision and its application in the courts, in particular the criminalisation of domestically abused mothers who did not inflict harm but supposedly “failed to protect” or “failed to prevent harm” to their children.
