Sexualization of Strangulation Series
Hosted by: RESPOND Against Violence & Conference on Crimes Against Women (2021)
Asphyxiation is a weapon used by domestic abusers, rapists, killers, pornographers, and traffickers. The use of asphyxiation (including strangulation, suffocation, and aquatic violence) in sexual crimes adds a layer of degradation for a victim and a film of confusion for investigators and prosecutors. From the most typical sexual assault or strangulation case to the most complex human trafficking trial and homicide case, this two-day session will change how the system identifies and filters the evidence so that attendees will be prepared to take on the most dangerous offenders in our society.
