Interview with Anna Marchese, World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters, December 7, 2015
Police violence in the United States and Canada has dominated the news over the past year. This violence typically focuses on abuse and excessive force by officers against the public. Recent allegations of police violence against Indigenous women in Val d'Or, Quebec, only illustrate the immediacy and severity of this issue. CKUT's Anna Marchese spoke to Alex Roslin about another aspect of police violence: domestic abuse. Roslin is co-author of "Police Wife: The Secret Epidemic of Police Domestic Violence," an investigative report that explores the issue.... Listen to the interview.
You are not alone. As many as 40% of police officers have abused their intimate partner or child. Authorities mostly ignore the widespread violence. But help is out there. My award-winning book “Police Wife” explains why so many officers are abusive, what women can do to increase their safety and how we can help them. "This is a book that should be given to the wife or girlfriend of every single male police officer": Sgt. Amy Ramsay (Ret’d), PhD
