BBC Radio 4 - Fixing Britain with Louise Casey, Violence against Women

Baroness Casey examines the issue of violence against women.

Baroness Casey looks at some of the challenges facing whoever wins the general election, continuing today with violence against women.

Baroness Casey, Louise Casey, continues her series looking at the challenges facing whoever wins the next general election. Delving into the reasons why five major social policy problems on which she has worked remain unsolved, she looks at questions of governance and political complexity, and asks what we need from our government, at every level, to make things work better.

In this episode, Louise looks at the issue of men's violence against women and children. Speaking to people from across the political spectrum who have worked hard to improve the effectiveness and sensitivity of the criminal justice system's response to these crimes, she tries to get to the bottom of why they have not been more effective. And she speaks to those working on preventing the problem in the first place, by addressing attitudes and behaviours which can, if left unaddressed, end up in violence.
