Episode Details

Laura continues her in-depth analysis of the landmark case Police v Callum Fairleigh with survivor Sam Bouffler, moving beyond the initial conviction to further unpack the patterns, behaviours, and responses that shaped this significant outcome.

Key Analytical Takeaways:
• Escalation and Pattern Recognition: How coercive control intensifies over time and why early identification of the pattern - not individual incidents - is critical.
• Serial Perpetration: there’s always a history and multiple victims.
• The Impact on Victims: Understanding the psychological and emotional toll of sustained coercive control and why victims may not be able to leave safely.
• Prevention and Protection: A national register of abusers is needed to ensure men’s histories of controlling and abusive behaviour are joined up
