Inhaltsangabe

Winner of the 2020 Stella Prize

Every year in England and Wales alone, one in twenty adults suffer domestic abuse, two thirds of them women. Every week, two men kill a woman they were intimate with. And still we ask the wrong question: Why didn't she leave? Instead, we should ask: Why did he do it?

Investigative journalist Jess Hill puts perpetrators -- and the systems that enable them -- in the spotlight. Her radical reframing of domestic abuse takes us beyond the home to explore how power, culture and gender intersect to both produce and normalise abuse. She boldly confronts uncomfortable questions about how and why society creates abusers, but can't seem to protect their victims, and shows how we can end this dark cycle of fear and control.

'See What You Made Me Do' is a profound and bold confrontation of this urgent crisis and its deep roots. It will challenge everything you thought you knew about domestic abuse.

• A journalist's searing exposé of domestic abuse, a crisis at the heart of society that the pandemic has highlighted.
• Reading this will challenge everything you thought you knew about domestic abuse.
• Award-winning investigative journalist Jess Hill draws on dozens of compelling interviews.
