This is brilliant, Dina. These stats are beyond shocking - as is that horrific NHS "training video." There are no words......!!!!!! I'm stunned by the difference in numbers of male vs. female offenders!
I've certainly experienced the poor health after a childhood loaded with ongoing trauma and fear. Despite an incredibly healthy lifestyle and being underweight, I developed unstable angina and had my first heart attack in my late 30s.
And I've had a history of terrible relationships (those six marriages - plus others that didn't end up down the aisle) and a generally unstable adult life in other ways.
But I'm certainly not beating people up, killing anyone or being a sexual predator!
Thanks for another excellent article on this important topic.
