Domestic abuse is a national emergency- one in four Australian women has experienced violence from a man she was intimate with. But too often we ask the wrong question- why didn’t she leave? We should be asking- why did he do it? Investigative journalist Jess Hill puts perpetrators and the systems that enable them, in the spotlight. See What You Made Me Do is a deep dive into the abuse so many women and children experience – abuse that is often reinforced by a justice system that is meant to protect them. Critically, it shows that we can drastically reduce domestic violence – not in generations to come, but today. Combining forensic research with riveting storytelling, Jess Hill’s acclaimed bestseller radically rethinks how to confront the national crisis of fear and abuse in our homes. This new and updated edition features revised statistics, forewords from Professor Clare Wright and domestic-violence educator Hannah Taylor-Civitarese, and a new preface from the author. This is an essential resource for anyone who works with survivors and perpetrators of domestic abuse and those at risk of experiencing it.
