"Police forces must do more to target domestic abusers who drive women to suicide, the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) has said. Forces are being asked to change their approach to suicide cases where domestic abuse may have been a factor, with officers too often not sufficiently curious about the circumstances surrounding a death, it added. Speaking to The Guardian, NPCC assistant commissioner Louisa Rolfe, who leads on domestic abuse, said that more posthumous investigations are taking place."
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
The Independent covers issues ranging from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, deploying reporters to develop stories and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet remains freely accessible without paywalls and asks for donations from readers who can afford to support quality journalism. The National Police Chiefs' Council has urged police forces to do more to target domestic abusers who drive women to suicide. Forces are being asked to change their approach to suicide cases where domestic abuse may have been a factor, with officers often not sufficiently curious about surrounding circumstances. NPCC assistant commissioner Louisa Rolfe said more posthumous investigations are taking place but forces are struggling with resources. The death of 23-year-old Kiena Dawes, who endured two years of controlling and coercive behaviour and left a suicide note blaming her former partner, underscores the calls for change.
