Maxine Peake, teenagers and domestic violence, and forensic pyschiatrist Sue Bailey.

Maxine Peake, teenagers and domestic violence, and forensic pyschiatrist Sue Bailey. Jenni Murray presents the programme that offers a female perspective on the world.

Maxine Peake talks about the new radio drama she has written about the four miners' wives who occupied Parkside Colliery in Merseyside for four nights in the early nineties. Among the protesters was Anne Scargill who will also be interviewed.

A new report claims that a large number of children as young as 13 and 14 have experienced domestic abuse - many of them not just being the victims but the abusers. The authors of the report are calling on the Government for major reform in the way that these young men are dealt with to stop them carrying out the abuse.

And leading forensic psychiatrist Sue Bailey talks about her work and what it's like being on the Woman's Hour power list.
