Jane Monckton Smith is a criminologist specializing in domestic homicide. A former police officer, she is professor of public protection at the University of Gloucestershire, and is recognized for her groundbreaking work on coercive control and stalking. In her new book, In Control: Dangerous Relationships and How They End in Murder, she lays out the eight stages of a domestic homicide timeline that flag up the potential for the coercively controlling to kill. Jane has been training police and public protection professionals across the UK, including The National Probation Service, Garda Síochána, Thames Valley and Kent Police, as well as the Women’s Institute, Kent and Hampshire Domestic Abuse Forum and East Midlands Psychology Service. “The domestic homicide timeline is a pioneering model which transforms the way we think about domestic homicide, coercive control and stalking and the risks in these situations.”
