Send us a text

In this powerful episode of the Pocket Sergeant Podcast, Paul Cooper is joined by leading criminologist and former police officer Professor Jane Monckton Smith, whose ground-breaking work on homicide timelines is transforming how the criminal justice system approaches domestic abuse and coercive control.
