Life or Death: Preventing Domestic Homicides and Suicides of Black and Minoritised Women

This research examines the obstacles faced by Black and minoritised women who lose their lives in domestic homicide and suicide in the context of domestic abuse. Whilst these women may face many of the same barriers and state failings as all other women experiencing domestic abuse, their deaths are bound up with many issues over and above those faced by white women. That is our focus here.

Research findings reinforce issues highlighted in other research, and we also identify some new areas that have not been examined elsewhere, particularly the police response to Black and minoritised women.
